Single Toc Item from Two Heading Lines
Hello,
I have my chapter headings formatted with Heading 1 style as follows Chapter One Title of Chapter One Chpater Two Title of Chapter Two All of these are of Heading 1 style. The problem is that when I generate a TOC, I naturally get each on a line by itself. How can I get a TOC like this: Chapter One: Title of Chapter One 4 Chapter Two: Title of Chapter Two 38 Any trick that I can use? |

You could use a line break at the end of "Chapter One" instead of a
paragraph break, but that would not take care of the colon. The solution I prefer is to use the heading style for the title only (use a Chapter Number style for the number), then add numbering to TOC 1 style, including the colon in the number format. -- Suzanne S.

hello Suzanne,
let me thank you for the great tutorials you have on your website. I benefitted from them immensely. I read your solution to the other way of the problem which is uses the hidden paragraph mark or hidden style. The problem is that I can't use numbering. In fact, I simplified the problem in my first post. This is a document about "Staff Rules" and it includes chapters and in each several rules. I can number the chapters as you suggest but cannot use autonumbering for the rules. What I wanted is to make a nice style that looks like this: Chapter I -----This has a style Chapter One Title -----Different Style (I can follow your suggestion here) Rule 101.1 ------A style that has a border below Rule 101.1 Title ------Different style here .. .. .. But in the table of content both should be on the same line. Thanks for your time Suzanne "Suzanne S.

It's possible you're confusing two different issues (two styles on the same
line as opposed to one or two styles on two lines), but it seems to me that if you set up the numbering for your TOC the same as for the headings themselves, you would get the desired results. That is, is you've used outline numbering for the chapters and the rules, you should be able to replicate that outline numbering for the TOC entries. -- Suzanne S.
