TOC \b - Can I use only Heading 1 as source?
I have a long manual that has a main TOC and separate TOC's for each section
using Word 2003. Last time I was editing it, I was able to insert the sectionTOC's and used only Heading 1 as the source from each bookmarked section. Now, I'm trying to update one of the section TOC's and I can't get it to use only Heading 1; it includes Headings 2 and 3 as well. If it do Insert - Field - and chose the TOC field, I can either add the switch - which I need - or format the field to only pull from Heading 1, but not both. I know it can be done, because I have it set this way in three other places in the document, but I can't seem to make it work today. Help, anyone? Thanks in advance! |

These things are controlled by separate switches within the TOC field code. The \b switch restricts the table to the area covered by a bookmark, and the \o switch determines what levels to use. Look at the samples in the "Partial table of contents" section of http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...OCSwitches.htm. You want something like {TOC \b Chapter1 \o "1"} -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

TOC \b - Can I use only Heading 1 as source?
Hi Jay-
Thanks for the info. I finally reverted to an earlier version of the document and used the Format Painter to copy the right formatting from another section TOC format to the messed up one. I will mess around with that switch and see if it works. This is what the field looks in the sections that are working: { TOC \b MyBookmark \* MERGEFORMAT } Thanks!
