Default Office 2007 - How to add new style for TOC entry

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

In Word 2003, you could insert a TOC based on custom styles you had made and
for each TOC entry, you could setup your own custom style so that you can
control what font, etc each entry in the TOC has
But in Word 2007, the Create new style for the TOC has the New button grayed
out.

Would there be a way to use the custom styles to control the appears of the
TOC in Word 2007?
