I have a problem creating interactive outlines using headings;

I can make headings using styles, but they do not appear in the headings side bar;

but sample docs do have them;

edit:

I find the problem relates to pasted text;

what are the format rules that define a heading?

highlighting a line of pasted text and changing the style to Heading1 is not recognised as a heading, but typing the same line of text and changing the style is;

thanks

Instead of selecting a sentence, just click inside the text. That should prevent Word from trying to access formatting to only the selected range.

If you have a chance to look at the document in a full version of Word (for PC or Mac), I would recommend that you do so, to get more information.
