Table of Contents Mystery
II have just received a long document which has a table of contents showing
levels 1 and 2. In the document itself there appear to be three levels at first glance: Heading I, heading 1.1 and (a). However, in Normal view the (a) paragraph shows up as heading 2 and heading 1.1 also shows up as heading 2. If I press enter after 1.1, then as expected, 1.2 appears. If I press enter after (a), then as expected a (b) appears. Yet they both say heading 2 in Normal view. When I toggle the field codes in the original TOC, the entries disappear and a shaded {TOC \F} remains. There doesnt seem to be a single TOC marking in it and no style separators; it was not typed manually. When I try to generate the table of contents by styles, the (a) paragraph shows up in the TOC as part of level 2, along with every single word in the paragraph. How did the originator of this document generate a beautiful TOC without the (a) paragraph showing up in the TOC as part of level 2? Its driving me crazy! Thanks, for the millionth time! |

Table of Contents Mystery
Hi Island Girl
The \f switch in the TOC field indicates that the TOC is being built from TC fields. At Tools Options View, tick the 'Hidden Text' box to display hidden text. Can you see any TC fields in the document? Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "Island Girl" wrote in message ...

Table of Contents Mystery
Hi, Shauna:
Thanks so much for your reply. I ticked the "hidden text" box and nothing seemed to change as far as the view goes. I did discover one thing that I had failed to notice at first in this very long lease and that is: in addition to the Heading 1 in Normal view, there also appears in only 4 places a "TC Heading 1"; these places are at a paragraph mark just before each of 1.3, 2.1, 2.2 and before 9.1. All of the paragraphs in the document are in Normal. Could this be some kind of program outside of Word that generates the TOC? Thanks again, Shauna!

Those are the TC fields Shauna was referring to. They generate TOC entries.

Table of Contents Mystery
Thanks for your reply, Suzanne.
The thing that confuses me is that there are absolutely no TC markings such as {TC "definitions" \f C\1 "1"} in the body of the document and there appears to be no hidden text. What I can't seem to get straight is: if the TC has been generated by styles, how could two different levels in the document be heading 2 and only one of them show up in the TC. And if not by styles, where are the TC markings in the body of the document? I'm just not able to grasp the situation but I will never stop trying. "Suzanne S.

Thanks again, Suzanne. It would be wonderful if you would take a look. I'm
in the process of changing the wording so I don't get in trouble with the firm, and will email it to you shortly. Thanks!!!!!! "Suzanne S.

Table of Contents Mystery
I understand the need for discretion, and I wouldn't want you to get in
trouble, but FWIW, I work at home and alone (no one else has access to my computer), and I never look at the content of documents I'm troubleshooting; this is not a matter of principle--just that I don't "see" the text as content when I'm trying to figure out its problems. -- Suzanne S.

Sounds like me. I used to work in the cash office of a department store. I
handled thousands of dollars worth of cash daily but it was never "money". It was just paper with numbers that had to match another set of numbers.
