Table of Contents Headings
I am trying to create a TOC from a school outline (multileveled list). I can
see that each level has been assigned an outline level. So now I would like to create a TOC from that. I don't want headings; I just want the TOC to pick up the outline levels and leave the font and such alone. I don't want to create 9 levels of headings for future use. When I create a TOC, I specify that it's to base itself on outline levels, not styles. And yet when I highlight text and click the "Add Text" button to designate a level, it gets switched to a heading style. In W2003, I could just highlight something and assign it a level from the "Outlining" toolbar. Nothing in the font or alignment changed. How do I do this in 2007? |

Table of Contents Headings
You can set the outline levels via the Paragraph dialog box (to display this
dialog, click the dialog launcher button in the Paragraph group of the Home ribbon tab), but note that this will be time-consuming. It will be easier to set up the multilevel list using custom styles, and then create the TOC based on your custom styles. To create a multilevel list in Word 2007: On the Home tab, click Multilevel List, and then click Define New List Style. Type a name for the list style. Then click Format, Numbering. Word displays the Modify Multilevel List dialog box, which allows you to specify the numbering format and attach paragraph styles to numbering levels. (Note that the dialog box is similar to the Customize Outline Numbered List of Word 97-2003; see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html for assistance.) To apply numbering to text, apply the appropriate paragraph style. To edit an existing list style (if necessary), use the Manage Styles dialog box (which can be displayed by clicking the Manage Styles button on the Styles task pane). For instructions on how to create a TOC based on custom styles, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "whitleymarie" wrote in message ...

Table of Contents Headings
THANK YOU. The Paragraph dialog box was exactly what I needed. The TOC I'm
making is much less formal than what I would need the multilevel list formatting for; I'm basically just picking and choosing what I want to show up.
