"No table of contents entries found"

[MiriamNZ]

In an effort to make my document completely rethink its TOC, I deleted all the TOC listed in the TOC panel. There were about 7 of them.

When I chose "Text > Table of Contents > Insert Table of Contents" all it inserts is "No table of contents entries found"

In the TOC Panel, by dint of choosing "Insert" I have generated a new item in the TOC list called TOC 1.

But this will not "update". 'Update all' does nothing. 

I quit Publisher 2 and restarted, but no change.

MACOS 12.6; Publisher 2.

(I did this because all the Tooltips on my TOC entries were pointing to the page numbers in the chapters of my 'book' when it was 4 different files, rather than the pages in my new, combined-all-chapters-in-one-file-because-I need links-in-my-pdf file.)

Any suggestions on how to get Publisher 2 to make a new TOC?

Surely deleting all the items in the TOC list  on the TOC panel doesn't totally smash the feature totally?

So: I created a new document and imported the content form the file that would not make a TOC. No change

So: I created a new document, before I messed with TOC, and this document made a TOC. SO I exported the document to pdf, and on hover the page numbers were still those of the chapter in the book.

SO: I created a new document. but in 2 lines of test, one a heading one not. Inserted TOC, AND "No table of contents entries found"|
There are not items in the TOC dropdown.

SO: I reset the Publisher 2 defaults to factory. Still not items in the TOC dropdown, no ability to insert or create a TOC.

I have smashed the app!

Ok, that is me being dumb, sorry. And all. my presets vanished into the ether, sigh.

I have to retick the styles that should be included int the TOC. Duh.
