    My top 2 heading levels, which show correctly in the Nav Pane are standard Heading 1 and Heading 2, but my third level is one I made up, Head3. I don't know whether that is responsible for the Nav Pane omitting the third level. I have three TOC's, one for only level 1, one for levels 1 and 2, and one for all three levels. These look ok.

    More clues: 1. Rt-ck on an entry in the Nav Pane and choose Show Heading Levels, set it to All. Makes no difference.

    2. If I change some of my Head3's to Heading 3, those do show in the Nav Pane. But until today I had my Head3's showing too.

    The Outline Level was already set to 3. I  fixed the problem by doing Open and Repair, which rarely helps with a problem. But I'm glad you pointed out the level setting.

    Modify your Head3 style so that its "Outline level" is set to 3. In the Modify Style dialog box, click Format, Paragraph; you'll find the "Outline level" option on the Indents and Spacing tab.

    Since Open and Repair worked, I guess the document was damaged.
