Hi,
Thanks for your post.
I have just posted another question but will add it here too (I had
forgotten this thread (and am having trouble finding posts))
I did get the TOC working in both portrait and landscape orientation but now
the alignment of the page numbers is all over the place. I am trying to
retrace my steps - it may be linked with adding the TOC as a quick part
(Word 2007) -- though I have had the same problem with standard plain
documents.
Do you have any ideas/help? Thanks Judiht

Not necessarily. The style definitions for the TOC styles do not include the
right-aligned tab stop for the page number. This tab stop is set dynamically
(at the current right margin) when the TOC is generated. If your template
will include a dummy TOC, then yes, you'll need two templates, but if it
includes only the styles, then the tab setting alone won't be an issue.
But if your document can be used in either portrait or landscape
orientation, it would probably be wise to create two templates anyway.
Although the new "alignment tabs" can be used to adjust the header/footer
automatically, there are still other things you might want to change between
one orientation and the other.

Hi - another question for you...
I am setting up templates and need to provide bith a landscape and a
portrait table of contents - I suspect I will need to create two different
templates as the tabs for the TOC styles need to be different.
Is that the case or iis there something I have missed?
Thanks

What you are describing are two separate things. You can certainly have
Word
look for custom styles when building the TOC. Any style in the document
can
be specified (you can even specify built-in headings, to override their
default TOC levels).
However, you cannot add a *TOC level*; these are limitied to nine. What
you
can do is change the formatting of the built-in TOC 1--TOC 9 styles
(these
determine the formatting of TOC entries).
You can add a style to the be included in the TOC via the Table of
Contents
dialog box. In the dialog box, click the Options button, and type a level
for
the style to be included (in the "Available styles" list); see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm.
For an existing TOC, just modify the TOC field code to include the \t
switch
(see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm).
You can modify the TOC styles via the Table of Contents dialog box. Click
the Modify button. For details, see

Would there be a way to use the custom styles to control the appears of
