Underline formatting not showing in Table of Contents
I created a table of contents using heading styles, and I understand that in
order for bold, italic, or underlining formatting to show up, I have to directly format the text, which I did. However, the table of contents still does not show the underlined words. It will show bold and italic and if I put my cursor in the middle of the word that supposed to be underlined in the TOC, the underline button is on, but no underline shows up, and no underline shows in print preview, or when I print. Any ideas? Thanks! ~Alex |

Underline formatting not showing in Table of Contents
This may be a side-effect of suppressing the blue and underline formatting
of the Hyperlink style. Do you have the same issue if you delete the \h switch from the TOC field? This would result in entries not being hyperlinked, but page numbers still will be. -- Suzanne S.

Underline formatting not showing in Table of Contents
After I wrote this, I still played around with the document, and I found that
if I unchecked the box "Use hyperlinks instead of page numbers" in the Index and Tables, Table of Contents dialog box, the underlining would show up. I think maybe the hyperlinking was conflicting with the underline formatting. The table still lets me CTRL click to a certain paragraph, so I think this will work for now. "Suzanne S.

Underline formatting not showing in Table of Contents
Clearing that check box accomplishes the same thing as deleting the \h
switch from the field. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Alexandra8011" wrote in message ...

Underline formatting not showing in Table of Contents
The underscore, like bold and italic, is a toggle. Apply it once and it's on.
Apply it again and it's off. So the underscore in the hyperlink character style is turning off the direct formatting underscore that you want. You can modify the hyperlink style to remove the underscore (the color is enough of a signal).

Underline formatting not showing in Table of Contents
I doubt that this will help because the Hyperlink formatting is suppressed
in TOC fields. In fact, I've just tested it, and removing the underlining from the Hyperlink style makes no difference. The only thing that works is removing the \h switch. -- Suzanne S.

Underline formatting not showing in Table of Contents
Oh gee, I could see in my mind's eye the ugly blue underscored TOCs that
bothered me so much that I modified the hyperlink style to get rid of it. Now that you mention it, I haven't had to do that in quite a while. I wonder how many versions I skipped back to?

Underline formatting not showing in Table of Contents
My understanding is that you wouldn't ever see that formatting in any
version except in Web Layout view (where page numbers are also suppressed) or if you manually hyperlinked the entries. But I confess I skipped from Word 97 to Word 2002, so I can't be sure what happened in Word 2000, and I generally omit the hyperlinking, anyway, as most of my documents are destined for print. -- Suzanne S.
