obef Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Hello, This is happening to me with regard to the sequence "Heading 1, Heading 2" in the Table of Contents. New document, on page 2 new Text Frame, I insert text and a line with text style Heading 2, other text and other heading 2, .... then on page 1 I create the Table of Content, so far no problem, text (heading 2) and page number are ok. The problem comes if I insert now at the top of the page (before the text frame just made) a new text frame in which I insert the text with style "Heading 1", when I update the table of contents, Heading 1 appears after Heading 2, which is a wrong sequence. If I create the text frame with Heading 1 first then the text frame with the heading 2 and create the Table of Contents it works ok. Am I doing southing wrong ? Thanks & Ciao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 You just need to understand that the appearance on the page (e.g., your Heading 1 appearing to be higher on the page than the Heading 2) is not important to Publisher. Rather, the important factor, for Text Frames that are not linked together, is their order in the Layers Panel. Publisher assumes that layers that are lower in the Layers panel stack were created first, in an analogy to painting where the first stroke you paint would be under a stroke you paint on top of it. Therefore, when the Text Frames are not linked, the one that is lower in the Layer stack will appear first in the ToC. Thus, to fix you problem, just rearrange the layers in the Layer panel and update the ToC.
