Unwanted text in TOC
For Word 2003, I'm picking up unwanted text in the TOC from 1) Cover page
with unique page setup 2) text within the document. I've checked the unwanted text to ensure they are formatted with 'body text' and don't see any paragraph characters beside them. Thanks. |

Unwanted text in TOC
The unwanted TOC paragraphs may have the wrong paragraph outline level
applied. This sometimes happens if the the document map has been opened. Fix that in the paragraph dialog (I'm using W2007 and don't remember the W2003 steps anymore). Then resolve not to use the document map (at least until its successor, the navigation pane come out in W2010).

Unwanted text in TOC
If your assumption is correct, deleting the \u switch from the TOC field
code would suffice (the switch instructs Word to include paragraphs that have outline levels 1--9 applied as direct formatting).

Unwanted text in TOC
Hi, Stefan,
Oh, that's a much faster way to clear up the problem TOC--but I'd still want to rid my document of those spurious headings and paragraph levels. I've often wondered about the difference between \o and \u. I've long added the paragraph level to style definitions to so the style would get picked up by the TOC, and I've deleted the \u with no effect. Now I know that's because \u applies to _direct formatting_. Thanks so much, Pam Stefan Blom wrote: If your assumption is correct, deleting the \u switch from the TOC field code would suffice (the switch instructs Word to include paragraphs that have outline levels 1--9 applied as direct formatting). See also http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/DocumentMap.htm. The unwanted TOC paragraphs may have the wrong paragraph outline level applied. This sometimes happens if the the document map has been opened. [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] Thanks. -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...ement/201004/1 |

the difference, one has to do some testing. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com" u43222@uwe wrote in message news:a60256a8bf261@uwe...

Unwanted text in TOC
Since I also build TOCs based on styles and rarely fiddle with outline
levels, I also hadn't figured out this difference, but it's wonderfully useful information to know. When I get a chance, I'll add that to my TOC Tips article because it does provide a way to add a single heading to a TOC. -- Suzanne S.

Note that a (brief) description of the \u switch is included in the article
on the Document Map at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/DocumentMap.htm (written by Daiya Mitchell). Of course, it's still a good idea to explain the switch in your TOC Tips article.

Unwanted text in TOC
Chances are you have text in your document that is (incorrectly) of a style
that Word includes in TOCs. In other words, the stuff that is in the TOC from your cover page is probably a Heading 1/2/3/etc. style. Change the style of the text that is erroneously in your TOC and regenerate your TOC and your problem will likely go away.
