me (writing a report): Oh hey, Word has an automatic table of contents.
(inserts template)
computer: Your table of contents is empty! Just highlight whatever text you'd like added to the table of contents, change it's font to a "heading" font, and we'll add it automatically!
me: Awesome.
(changes all appropriate bullet points to "heading" fonts)
(clicks "update table of contents")
computer: Your table of contents is empty! Just highlight whatever text you'd like added to the table of contents, change it's font to a "heading" font, and we'll add it automatically!
me: Huh. Maybe at least one heading had to be set before I inserted the table?
(deletes table of contents, adds a new one)
computer: Your table of contents is empty! Just highlight whatever text you'd like added to the table of contents, change it's font to a "heading" font, and we'll add it automatically!
me: What the?
(goes back, re-highlights several bullet points, clicks "update table of contents")
computer: Your table of contents is empty! Just highlight whatever text you'd like added to the table of contents, change it's font to a "heading" font, and we'll add it automatically!
me: Dammit Microsoft, this would have been so much easier using LaTex.
As a former professor used to opine, "I don't consider myself computer-illiterate; I simply don't share the same perspective as Microsoft."
UPDATE: I found it. Apparently "headings" is different from "heading-style fonts."
