LaTeX - AUX file OK but no TOC file generated

From SnOwy - Ed's Wiki Notebook

This happened to me writing my final PhD thesis proposal --

TOC = Table of Contents

If everything else is working but no TOC file is created, then check the document class command.

\documentclass

If you've selected a custom class (type of document) that does not support TOCs, then none will be generated.

In my case, I inherited a class "journal" which is not standard -- it was replaced with article ...

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
