Table of Contents page number capitalization
Some of the pages in my document are numbered with Roman numerals. Because
of inconsistent capitalization in my TOC, I used the modify function of the TOC to require all caps. But that made the Roman numeral page numbers appear in caps, too. Is there a way to require that the page numbers be kept in their original format? As a possible side note, the reason I had inconsistent capitialization despite that all my headings are from the same style is, as far as I can tell, is because of the way I entered each heading. So even though my headings are all the same style, which is all caps, the TOC entries were coming out like this: table of contents TABLE OF AUTHORITIES Statement of Basis of Jurisdiction STANDARD OF REVIEW etc. I tinkered around with reentering the heading info in the document, and found that if I entered "table of contents," applied the heading style, which made it "TABLE OF CONTENTS," and refreshed the TOC, the TOC entry would be "table of contents." If, however, I typed "TABLE OF CONTENTS," applied the heading style (no cap change), and refreshed the TOC, then the TOC entry would be "TABLE OF CONTENTS." So, oddly to me, the TOC entries will appear as you originally typed them, regardless of the later-applied style. Anyway, that was the long way of explaining why I tried the "all caps" method in the TOC modification tool -- so that I wouldn't have to go back through and retype all my headings in caps throughout the document. (Seems like there's no point in having the style do that for you if the TOC is going to reflect the original typecase anyway.) But then when I all-capped the TOC, the Roman numeral page numbers got capped, too. Sorry about the lengthy explanation! (Guess I could have retyped all my headings by now!) Any tips or tricks will be appreciated. Thanks! |

Table of Contents page number capitalization
The TOC does not pick up any formatting applied by the style, only direct
formatting, so if your heading style includes all caps formatting, it is very important to be sure that you're typing the heading properly in caps and lowercase so it will look right in the TOC. When in doubt, I toggle the All Caps off (and back on) as a check. If you format the TOC entry as All Caps, there is no way to make the roman numeral page numbers lowercase. Sorry. -- Suzanne S.

Table of Contents page number capitalization
I had the same problem and found a way to correct it. Highlight just the
page number in the table of contents that you don't want capitalized and go to formatfont and unclick the All Caps button. Hope this helps!

Table of Contents page number capitalization
Note, however, that they will be reset every time you update the TOC.
