My table of contents is a numbered list: pressing Enter ruins the
Hello,
My table of contents is a numbered list. A sample line looks like this: 2.3.2.1 text1 text1 text1.....45 What should I do when the heading (above heading is the "text1 text1 text1" part) is so long that it should really take two lines? In other words, I don't want it to look like 2.3.2.2 text2 text2 text2a text2 text2 text2...............48 I want it to look like this - 2.3.2.2 text2 text2 text2a text2 text2 text2.......48 However, if I press "enter" after "text2a", it screws up the numbering below that point... Thank you for your kind help. |

Try Shift+Enter, Sam. That's the quick and dirty workaround. I'd rather see
you shorten your heading!  ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Sam" wrote in message ... Hello, My table of contents is a numbered list.

Modify the relevant TOC style to have a right indent. Leave the right tab at
the right margin, but add enough of a right indent to generously clear the longest page number (usually 0.5"-1"). -- Suzanne S.
