#Word 2016 deleting section break after table of contents code#
Place your cursor at the very end of the text in the first section (after your Table of Contents and any Lists of Tables and Figures), being careful NOT to place it in the footer where the page number is (if the text above becomes grayed out, you are in the footer – try clicking higher).Īdd a "Section Break – Next Page" by selecting the "Page Layout" tab on the menu, clicking the arrow next to "Breaks", and selecting "Next Page" under Section Breaks.Īfter doing this, you should see a "Section Break (Next Page)" code inserted into your document. If you do not already have a "Section Break" between these two sections of your document, you will need to add one. One of the required page numbering changes for your thesis or dissertation is that you need to use Roman numerals (e.g., "i, ii, iii") for your introductory sections (Abstract, Table of Contents), and then switch to Arabic numerals (e.g., "1, 2, 3") and begin the page numbering at "1" at the start of Chapter I of your main text. To start, temporarily turn on the viewing of hidden formatting symbols by clicking the "Show/Hide" symbol on the "Home" tab in the "Paragraph" box - this will enable you to see the Section Breaks between sections of your document. To use different page numbering schemes in different sections of your Word document, there are two tricks: 1) you must include a "Section Break - Next page" between each section of your document where the numbering will change, and 2) you must "unlink" each section's footer from the one before it.

Strange thing is that all tabulators and text format still looks as it should, "only" the numbers and bullet points disappeared. Safe function was on and that I was saving (ctrl + S) every few minutes after closing and reopening of document all headings and bullet points disappeared! Few pages before finish of editing I lost all heading numbers and bullet points. I meat same problem during working on 100 pages documents. It leads me to believe there is a defect in the way MS Word is displaying the numbering and bullets On the other hand, if I do not fix any of the headings, and instead save, close and reopen the document, the headings and bullets all magically return in their correct format. If I use format painter on any one heading to correct the problem, it corrects all headings and bullet point lists in the document instantly. In other words, the level 2 headings either lose their numbering or the number changes to a bullet, and the bullet point lists lose their bullets. every single time I open the document and scroll up and down in it, at least 1 section ends up looking like this): For example, theĪbove document example ends up looking like this regularly (i.e. Sometimes a level 2 heading will suddenly get a bullet point, rather than a chapter number.
