General ⇒ TOC - problem with numbering

[user]

Hi.

I just began to work with SWP. Although its user interface makes things easier, I still have some minor problems after using shell 'New South Wales' for my thesis. The Problem is that in TOC it starts with chapters, but Im writing a master thesis and no book. As soon as I change those chapter headings into section headings, the headings in TOC start from 0.1, 0.2 etc. . Isnt there some possibility that TOC starts from sections and neglects parts and chapter? I tried setcounter{secnumdepth}{} and \setcounter{tocdepth}. Isnt there a way I can put in some minimum? Please dont tell me to try some other shell. I really want to use THIS shell. Thank you for your time.

Hi,

I don't use SWP, but I'll try to give advice. To number sections independent of chapters you could use the chngcntr package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithout{section}{chapter}

Hi.

This helped. Thanks. Yet. Since it is some predefined shell, it now rearranges sections, but I like the section headings to be substituted with chapter headings, this means that all options in TOC and so on for chapter shall now be used for section headings. Or maybe you know how I get this 'chapter 1, chapter 2 etc.' on the top of each chapter deleted? It looks quite annoying if chapter stands above some bibliography. I appreciate your advise.
