Sorry for posting here, I know this is not the really right site for posting my question

BUT I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO frustrated on Ms Word 2013 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

My problem is with creating "numbered headings" and a "Table of Contents".

On one side, I have no numbers on my headings, but when I add them, I cannot create a table of contents.

and so on ........    The internet is full of such problems

I am wondering, I am not a beginner at computers. I am a professional SW developer for many years. How can such a tool as MS Word be so complicated?

Ok, any site, where is a nice and really easy to understand tutorial, which does not consume 5 hours?  :-)

Thank you for your answers - very helpfull.

But to be honest, if such simple basic taks are such complicated as written in these links, than MS Word is propably no longer the tool for creation of documents for everybody (MVP's excepted ) as it was in the last decade(s). During my professional carreer as sw-developer, I created propably seveal ten-thousands of ms-word documents/pages by doing some simple clicking (with previous versions of word)

I also asked my wife, she's secratary at an university, and ms-word is her daily business. She was not able to explain me a solution. She simply does not use this feature in her job and if really needed, she uses other chances/tools.

Ok, enough. Thank you for your kind support (and your links). I will move to another forum if I have more concerns

Hi,

The procedures set forth on Shauna Kelly's pages have been how to do this since at least Word 97. (There were different menus, but the same dialogs.) If you have been doing it some other way, you have been lucky.

Indeed, the version of the article for non-ribbon versions of Word can be found at http://shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/numbering2003.html.
