Word 2002 - default TOC format?
Hi all, I want to have a standard table of contents format for a corporate template, but every time I make changes the changes are not remembered. I want to have no tab leader dots, modified TOC styles, and the table built only from certain styles. I understand that I should therefore select formats "from template" - but any changes I make there this time, I also have to make again next time. Is there any way of getting these changes to "stick" so they automatically get applied next time? Regards, Julian |

Hi Julian,
You can always modify your TOC style or create a new TOC style and save it.

By changing the TOC styles am I able to remove tab leader dots, or force the
TOC to only use certain of the document styles (eg: build from Heading1 and Heading3, but not Heading2) when building the TOC?

Well, yes and no. Which styles are referenced in the table of contents
is determined by the TOC field code. This, in turn, is created by Word as you create a TOC. You can copy and paste an existing TOC into a template, which will bring the field code along with it. To make your TOC have no tab leaders, you can modify the TOC styles to explicitly include a right-aligned tab stop (at the right margin) with no leader defined. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "juzliqan" wrote in message ...

To add to what Stefan has said, when you have fine-tuned your TOC to be
exactly what you want, save the TOC field as an AutoText entry. Keep in mind that you will still need to define the TOC styles as required in the template you're using. But in this way the same TOC field AutoText entry can produce TOCs with various appearances in documents based on various templates. -- Suzanne S.
