Default Chapter start - no H1 number wanted, but TOC-1 numbered entry

I'm glad you got it sorted.

Hi Both.
Great - I have managed to create a new style for the Chapter Title text
and
have altered the H1 style to show just a number with nothing after it as
the
main number for the chapter. This then increments for each chapter and
feeds
into my H2/H3, as before. Then linking the Chapter Title style to TOC1 and
removing the H1 style from the TOC has solved it for me.
This will look really good in my user guides.
Many thanks.

See the relevant section of

which explains how to do this. Note that a large part of the solution is
to
use Heading 1 for your chapter titles.

I would like my Word 2003 doc to have a numbered TOC entry in it (based
on
H1), but on the page that starts the chaper, I would like a chapter
title

(no
number) that is the same as the H1 TOC entry. Currently I am having to
put

a
H1 line on the chapter page, and repeating the chapter title text above

the
H1 text looks a bit silly.
The layout is:
TOC1/2/3 at the start of the doc (based on H1/2/3)
Chapter page:
Chapter text (like "Getting Started")
H1 line (to get the TOC emtry)
H2 line & text, and so on.
Hiding the H1 entry (via hidden text) is no good - it also gets hidden

from
the TOC. Can I display hidden text in the TOC? Or can I turn numbering
off
just for the display of H1 in my doc (when I can then use it as the

chapter
title).
Thanks for any help.
