Unwanted text in TOC
Well, the outline levels of the built-in headings cannot be changed. In
fact, you can't even change the outline levels by applying direct formatting: the "Outline level" option is greyed out in the Paragraph dialog box. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... What confuses me is what you are doing when you remove the number from a style or add a number to a style in the TOC Options dialog. This doesn't actually change the outline level of the style, nor does it apply that outline level to those paragraphs as direct formatting; all it does is tell Word to include the style at the specified level; as noted in http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/T...mitPageNumbers, you can swap heading levels this way (resulting in a TOC field such as { TOC \o "3-3" \n 2-3 \h \z \t "Heading 1,2,Heading 2,1" }, which results in using TOC 1 for Heading 2 and TOC 2 for Heading 1), though you do have to clear the check box for "Outline levels," which removes the \u switch. So that adds another layer of complexity to the whole subject. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com" u43222@uwe wrote in message news:a60d228091390@uwe... One of the most misleading is this from Word 2003 help: \o "Headings" Builds a table of contents from paragraphs formatted with built-in heading styles (heading style: Formatting applied to a heading. ... For example, { TOC \o "1-3" } lists only headings formatted with the styles Heading 1 through Heading 3. ... I learned 6 or 7 years ago, I think in one of the other Word forums I attend (Word-PC maybe), that styles with paragraph outline levels other than body text could be picked up by the TOC. That, to me meant that \o probably stands for paragraph outline level instead of heading level. But I have only seen one or two people say that. And MS never corrected its help text for W2003.

Since then I've done a lot more playing around with TOCs, but not with the \o and \u switches. Thanks for the reminder about the DM article; I'll read that before I proceed. Note that a (brief) description of the \u switch is included in the article [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] Thanks. -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |
