Case 1
The index or table of contents in your master document begins with chapter 0 (in Microsoft Word 6.x or 7.x), or you get no number for heading 1 style paragraphs (Word 98 Macintosh Edition).

Case 2
The index or table of contents does not include chapter numbering.



Case 1
You specified chapter numbering in the subdocuments but not in the master document.

Case 2
You specified chapter numbering in the master document but not in the subdocuments.



RESOLUTION
To work around these problems, generate a table of contents or index that includes the chapter number and begins with Chapter 1 instead of Chapter 0. To do this, follow these steps:


 * 1) In each of your subdocuments, number the headings. In Word 6.x-7.x, use the Heading Numbering command on the Format menu, and in Word 98 Macintosh Edition, use the Outline Numbering tab (click the Bullets and Numbering command on the Format menu).
 * 2) Format the page numbers in each subdocument to include chapter numbers. (To locate the Chapter Numbers option, click Page Numbers on the Insert menu, and then click Format.)
 * 3) In the master document, turn on Heading Numbering.

Additional query words: zero null nil none chapter numbers numbering table contents index TOC 8.0 8.00
