How to remove unwanted Diagrams/Pictures from the Table of Contents
If you have a table of contents that has a diagram in the middle of it, do the following to get rid of it:
- Locate the diagram in the body of the document
- Select the diagram
- Look at the style that is assigned to the document. If it is “Heading x”, where x is 1, 2, etc, then continue reading to fix this. If it is not “Heading x”, then this might not help you.
- Change the style to something other than “Heading x”
- Go back to your table of contents and hit F9 to rebuild the entire table
This should get rid of it.
Explanation
- MS Word pulls everything with style “Heading x” into the Table of Contents.
