Excluding page numbers in the TOC
I have 4 levels of TOC, but I want to only have page numbers on Level 3 I know you can add the switch to remove levels 1 and 2 { TOC \n 1-2 } but how do you then tell it to remove level 4 but leave level 3. Thanks in advance€¦. |

Excluding page numbers in the TOC
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I don't think it is possible to do this
with the conventional Table of Contents. You can either have Page numbers showing {TOC}. Page numbers not showing {TOC \n}. Or page numbers showing but with one range omitted (i.e. not showing) {TOC \n 1-2}. The switch only excepts one range eg 1-2. It does not have the ability to add more than one switch eg TOC \n 1-2 \n 4-4, If you try this it will ignore the first switch. There are ways of manually getting it to look the way you want (For example using REF and PAGEREF or hiding the page number under level 4) but none of them are easy and I wouldn't recommend them as they do not have the flexibility of the click to update Table of contents. I don't know what your document looks like but I'm guessing showing level 3 headings below level 4 will not be an option for you. My recommendation would be to lose level 4 if at all possible then you can have a nice neat table with only level 3 showing page numbers. Maybe someone else has an idea about how this could be achieved easily without using the TOC. |

Excluding page numbers in the TOC
Hi ?B?U2xlZXBlcg==?=,
I have 4 levels of TOC, but I want to only have page numbers on Level 3 I know you can add the switch to remove levels 1 and 2 { TOC \n 1-2 } but how do you then tell it to remove level 4 but leave level 3. Have you tried \n 1-2,4 ?

Excluding page numbers in the TOC
Thanks for that, I suspected as much.
Reason behinds request is that level 3 has main headings, but level 4 has subheadings and the majority is on the same page. The client wants to show level 4 on the contents page but the numbering looks silly when most of them are on the same page as Level 3. eg MAIN HEADING.....3 subheading 1.....3 subheading 2.....3 subheading 3.....3 subheading 4.....3 subheading 5.....3 subheading 6.....3 subheading 7.....3 "Illya Teideman" wrote: Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Tried that with no luck. Also tried
\n 1-2 4-4 \n 1-2 4 \n 1-2,4 \n 1-2 ,4 \n 1-2 \n 4-4 ....also tried harsh language - no luck but it did make me feel better. |

This is in fact quite possible; it just requires sideways thinking. See
