= SYMPTOMS =

In Microsoft Word for Windows versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.1a, headings cannot appear as Word for Windows table of contents entries if a paragraph formatted with the heading style directly follows a column break.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.1a. This problem has been corrected in Word for Windows version 2.0.

= MORE INFORMATION =

You create column breaks with the CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER key combination or by choosing Break from the Insert menu and selecting Column Break. If you insert a column break in a section formatted as one column (the default format for sections) it has the same effect as a page break.

Because the CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER key combination creates a hard page break in Word for DOS, it is often erroneously used to create a page break in Word for Windows. There are several ways to enter hard page breaks in Word for Windows, all of which permit the heading paragraph following the break to be interpreted as a table of contents entry.

If a heading is missing from the table of contents and the section is formatted as one column, you must delete the column break preceding the heading paragraph and use one of the following methods to insert a hard page break:


 * 1) Press CTRL+ENTER.

-or-

 From the Insert menu, choose Break and select Page Break.

-or-

 From the Format menu, choose Paragraph to format the heading paragraph with the Page Break Before option.

-or-

 To enter a page break and start a new section, from the Insert menu, choose Break and select Next Page in Section Break.

If a heading is missing from the table of contents and the section is formatted with more than one column, you must insert a blank paragraph between the column break and the heading paragraph.

Word for Windows displays column breaks and page breaks with two different types of dotted lines. For examples, refer to page 145 of the “Word for Windows User’s Reference.”
