TOC question
My Table of Contents section heading is formatted with a Heading 1 Style so
"Table of Contents" shows up as a TOC entry when I set it up automatically. Can I keep it out of the TOC while still formatting it with a Heading Style? I appreciate all help. |

TOC question
Create a TOC Head style identical to (but not based on) Heading 1 and use
that for the TOC title. -- Suzanne S.

TOC question
Thanks again for your help, Suzanne. I must say this idea occurred to me but I disgarded it before I asked for help because a TOC line won't appear in the Document Map unless it is formatted with a Heading style, but I guess that's not the end of the world.

TOC question
Well, there are at least two other approaches you can take:
1. Give your TOC Head style an outline level of 1. It will appear in the Document Map, but it will also appear in the TOC by default; you'll have to remove the 1 beside it in the TOC Options to omit it. 2. If you want the TOC in the Document Map to make it easy to get to AND if you have Word 2003 (and maybe 2002), you can add a Go To TOC button to the toolbar using Tools | Customize. Note that this works well for ordinary TOCs built on styles or outline levels but does not work if your TOC includes entries based on TC fields. It also might be problematic if a document contains more than one TOC. -- Suzanne S.

TOC question
Wow! Now you're talking! #1 is perfect.
I have 2003 and an ordinary TOC so #2 should also work, but #1 is closer to elegance, no? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Well, there are at least two other approaches you can take: 1.

TOC question
Once you have the TOC set up to omit the TOC Head style, yes, it should work
better for you (and on any machine, whereas the button would be present only on your own customized one). Since you seem to be open to TOC tips and tricks, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm -- Suzanne S.
