table of contents format
I have a document for which I am creating a TOC. Many of the pages in the
document follow a similar pattern: General Area: xxxxxxxxxx Topic Area: yyyyyyyyyy The terms General Area and Topic Area appear on pages and new General Areas and Topic Areas are discussed on each page. My current TOC contains the following: General Area: xxxxxxxxxx.................# Topic Area: yyyyyyyyyy.................# I do not want to display the terms General Area and Topic Area in my TOC. I only want to see what the General Area and Topic Area are. I would prefer my TOC to look like this: xxxxxxxxx............# yyyyyyyyy............# What do I have to do to create a TOC that will meet my needs? Thanks. |

Apply a different style to the terms "General Area" and "Topic Area"...that
is, if you are using styles to create the TOC. ************ Hope it helps! Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "TJ" wrote in message news  I have a document for which I am creating a TOC.

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I could not make your suggestion work.
The TOC would not capture only the text that exists after General Area and Topic Area. The TOC still picks up those terms.

You will have to have a paragraph return after each "general area" and
"topic area". And those two items will have to be a style that is not included in the TOC. I have seen people create a new style called, for instance, Heading1a, where Heading1a is NOT included in the TOC. ************ Hope it helps!

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/RunInSidehead.htm. In your case,
you'll want to use it the other way round. Or you could use TC fields instead. -- Suzanne S.
