This TC field stuff looks interesting but as you are pointing out (I think) (and not having yet tried it to find out on my own) you can add TC fields to most of the Heading and Body stuff to make it visible in the TOC but you can't by default have most of the Heading and Body stuff visible in the body of the document and only add TC fields to stuff you want to make not visible. True. You can tell Word to build the TOC from Heading 1, Heading 2, and TC fields together, to minimize how many TC fields you need to add. Use settings in the Options dialog (from the Insert | Index and Tables dialog). You could probably also build your own set of numbered styles (and not use the built-in ones) which would then allow you to remove the outline level for certain headings. But I wouldn't advise it, because numbering is very tricky. The outline level is also useful for things other than the TOC. --(by the way, what is the official term for the main stuff outside the TOC? "Body" seems like it could be confused with the other definition of Body that goes along with Heading in Styles.) I generally call it main text. Body text would also work, since Word's use of Body Text as a style name and outline level is generally going to concur with your use of it to refer to the main text. DM |
