Suppressing outline no. in table of contents
My table of contents is built using heading styles:
Heading 1: a) TEXT Heading 2: i. Text Although the outline numbers should appear in the main text (as they do), I don't want them in the TOC. Is there a switch (can't find any such Help or previous questions in this forum) or other workaround to suppress those automatically generated numbers in the TOC? Thanks. -- Sarah |

Short of manually building the "TOC" by inserting cross references to all your headings, none that I could think of. It's a rather peculiar wish, OTOH: the outline numbers/letters serve as an orientation to the reader. Showing them in one place and not in another will be distracting at best.

Well, you *could* do it with TC fields. Provided the headings are not likely
to change much, this would be fairly straightforward: select the heading, press Alt+Shift+O, and accept the entry. -- Suzanne S.

Suppressing outline no. in table of contents
Thank you both, Robert and Suzanne. I agree that the request is peculiar;
suffice it to say that I train legal secretaries, whose bosses appear to suffer frequently from such peculiarities in requests (a/k/a demands). Yes, Suzanne, you hit upon the snag -- not knowing when the "final" version actually is. But you confirmed my suspicion that there's no automatic way to do this. -- -- Sarah "Suzanne S.
