APA Headings
I would like to find or create a style document for an APA formatted document
that work with a Table of Contents. Levels 3-5 of APA have the heading inline with the paragraph text. For example This is the heading. Followed by the paragraph text that goes on and on and on etc. It seems that the heading styles only allow for paragraph headings - that is they automatically insert a new paragraph after the heading - so if I highlight "This is the heading." above and apply the heading style it automatically sticks in a new paragraph which doesn't match APA. Alternatively, if I don't using the heading styles, then I can't automatically create a table of contents for my document. Any ideas about how to solve this problem? Thanks! Charles |

APA Headings
You could use a TC field. For more info see
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...861971033.aspx As TC fields are normally hidden, you will have to type the first sentence of your paragraph twice: once as part of your TC and once as part of your paragraph. So for your example (assuming field codes are displayed) you would get { TC "This is the heading" \l 3 }This is the heading. Followed by the paragraph text that goes on and on and on etc. To add all TC fields to your TOC, you will have to add the \f switch to your TOC field code. For a full explaination, see http://office.microsoft.com/training...RC102666801033 Yves "crg" wrote in message ...

APA Headings
If what they want is run-in headings, in particular ones that should be
included in a TOC, use the style separator. Type your heading and the following text, each in its own paragraph and style. Place the cursor in the first, or heading, paragraph, and press Alt+Ctrl+Enter. Word will "hide" the first paragraph it encounters. Be sure that the line spacing and space after in the two paragraphs are the same (such as both single spaced and both 6 pts space after). --If, for example, the heading style's space after is greater that the text style's, that space will show up after the paragraph in W2003 and after the first line of the joined paragraph in W2007. If you use the style separator often --but not often enough to remember the keyboard shortcut, you can add the command to the toolbar or , in W2007/10 the QAT. You can also manually hide the paragraph mark (font effects hidden), but that's more steps.
