TOC layout problem
I am trying to create a Table of Contents for a large document. This TOC
should contain 3 levels (Chapters/paragraphs/sub-paragraphs), which is no problem. The problem concerns the 2 types of chapter titles I use: type A, which should include a chapter number (e.g. 1. Introduction) and type B, which does not include a number (e.g. Refences). In my document, due to the layout, none of my actual chapter titles contains a number (chapter numbers for type A are not displayed on the same line as the chapter titles). In the TOC, however, titles of type A should be equipped with a number and titles of type B should not. Both types of titles should appear on the same level though. Example: ---------- 1. Introduction...................................1 1.1 Problem Description.................1 1.2 Objective................................2 1.3 Outline...................................2 Refences.......................................... .3 ---------- Can anybody give me a suggestion on how to achieve this in Word 2003? Thanx, Ron |

The quickest solution would be to use a different TOC style for both your "level 1 types" of headings. This will only work when you have used two styles in the main body. Then you can either - number the style for type A directly (it's a hack, in a way, but should work well enough), or - make the numbering part of the same entry in the main text (separating it with a SHIFT-Return, which will translate into a space in the TOC). Offline-help explains all necessary TOC switches. 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

TOC layout problem
The way I handle this is to use two different styles for the numbered and
unnumbered headings (regardless of how they're numbered), say Heading 1 for the "numbered" ones and FrontMatter for the unnumbered ones. Then map these styles to, say, TOC 1 and TOC 3. Add numbers to the TOC 1 style and modify TOC 3 to match TOC 1 except for the numbering. For more on this, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/T...mberedHeadings (and other parts of that article). -- Suzanne S.
