Customizing Table of Contents
Hi, just thought I'd give som information regarding the fact that I couldn't
add an inline horizontal border to the tables I had. The reason is that if you have a table which contains only one row, the option to add an inline border is not available. Mekes sense though, but I CAN add it anyway by updating the style to match selection if I manually insert an inline border after I've inserted another row. And then delete the row. That way, the setting of the inline border is still there, even though there isn't any second row. "PamC via OfficeKB.com" wrote: Yes, you've found your problem. You do need the "tab after" in the numbering scheme so you can right align the numbers on the TOC. If you choose to change the numbering scheme to add the tab after, then you can modify each of your TOC styles by setting a right tab far enough right to accommodate all the heading numbers and then a left tab at least .1" beyond the right tab. Insert a tab at the beginning of TOC line to right align the numbers. For the borders, you can place each TOC entry in a table with borders above and below. You can adjust the space between the tables by changing the point size of the returns between them. Note, though, that the tabs, tables, and returns in the TOC text are manual formatting that have to be redone whenever the TOC is regenerated.

The tab stops doesn't seem to do anything to the chapter numbers, only to the page numbers. Perhaps it's got something to do with the fact that I've set the Heading styles to use Spaces after the chapter number instead of the default Tab button? The reason I did this is because there seemed to be a bug when using the Tab button, since I had the exact same settings for each Heading style, but still the space between the chapter number and the Heading itself seemed to vary. When using spaces instead, everything worked out fine. So by default, if I want the chapter numbers of the Table of Contents to be aligned mirrored, I have to use Tab Stops? In that case, what does the indentation do? As for any style, the details of the tab settings are found in Modify Format Tabs. Each tab on the ruler has its own line on that panel; [quoted text clipped - 56 lines] Any light on this? -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...ement/200904/1 |
