Styles in foreign language
I've created a template in Word 2003 for my UK clients who also have
an office in Rio de Janeiro. This document has many styles and as I know that Word changes the built-in styles when passed from one language version of Word to another I've created bespoke ones thus avoiding the standard ones which change at will. Everything works OK over in Rio. However, one added feature of this template is a Table of Contents (TOC) which, as we all know, is based on the TOC built-in styles. But these styles change on being used on a Portuguese version of Word. So, for example TOC 1 changes to "Analitico 1" and so forth. Is there a way that I can create styles so that a Table of Contents will use the styles I create and not the built-in TOC 1, etc? Roderick |

Styles in foreign language
No, you cannot choose other styles than the default ones for the TOC
entries. What is the problem you are having with the TOC? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Roderick O'Regan" wrote in message ...

I had a sinking feeling that this might be the case. First of all the TOC 1 built-in style changes to "Analitico 1" style and so on through the styles. Next, on the document itself, is a Table of contents page with the TOC constructed from the TOC fields and respective title styles and which are driven by TOC 1, 2, 3 etc built-in styles. So, when the template is used over in Rio the TOC field doesn't update itself and show the levels required because what was used in the first place TOC 1,2, 3, etc in the UK has now changed to "analitico" 1, 2, 3 etc in Brazil. Word seems to be saying "You created it using TOC 1 style. I'm going to change TOC to "Analitico" but I'm not going to let this filter down to the TOC field written on the document" Or something like that! It was interesting to see (we were having a visual dialogue with them through MS Live Meeting) when I asked them first to create a quite separate TOC the new one picked up the correct style settings which I had originally set up in the UK with TOC 1 and so on. Hope this explanation helps. |
