Almost there...new way of numbering?
I am able to insert different files using conditional IF statements.
Everything including the TOC works great until I try to add outline numbers to the document. When numbering is added the TOC hates it, and includes a ton of blank spots. If you have seen this and know how to fix the numbering it would help me a lot. Thanks |

Can you clarify "a ton of blank spots"? If what you mean is that there's too
much space between the number and the text, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/NumberAlignment.htm. If you have blank TOC entries, then that's another story. -- Suzanne S.

Yeah sorry about that. By blank spots I meant blank TOC entires. It seems
like I can either have numbering in my document and a terrible TOC or have no numbering but a correct TOC. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Can you clarify "a ton of blank spots"?

Almost there...new way of numbering?
Blank TOC entries usually occur as a result of having empty paragraphs or
manual page breaks formatted with a heading style. Display nonprinting characters (Ctrl+*) and make sure that you don't have an empty Heading x paragraph before any heading. If you have manual page breaks, you can solve the problem by deleting them and formatting the headings as "Page break before" (Format | Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks). If there is a heading level that is always preceded by a page break, add that formatting to the heading style. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks, I tried doing that but it didn't help. Must be since I'm using the
IF field and includetext field. If you've tried this and got it to work I'd love to know how. "Suzanne S.

Thanks for your input. I'm trying to say something like this:
If a dropdown box is equal to x then include a certain file. The TOC works fine when I say includetext but not when I add the IF "Suzanne S.

I assume you're updating the TOC after updating other fields?
