InsertStyleSeparator - Word 2007 issues
This may cross borders with other versions, too.
This issue comes up when trying to format a portion of a paragraph as Heading x - for TOC purposes - and the rest of the paragraph as normal, as documented in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285059 Using the InsertStyleSeparator command (Ctrl-Alt_enter) while typing in a new document or at the end of an existing document, all is well. However, if a new paragraph is inserted before an existing para, use of the command fouls up the formatting in the following para. Two options: first is I'm doing something wrong, but that can't POSSIBLY be the case. Second is that Word isn't behaving properly. Anybody else encounter this, and are there any prescribed steps for doing this, or other workarounds? |

InsertStyleSeparator - Word 2007 issues
After a great deal of experimentation, I discovered the way to deal with this:
You need an extra paragraph marker between your new text and the next REAL paragraph. Thus, if you want to insert a new paragraph that will have a header to be included in the TOC, insert a new paragraph with the Enter key, then hit Enter again. Type the text that is to be Normal-formatted part of the paragraph. Now move up before the first first inserted paragraph, select the desired Header format, and type the header text, THEN press Ctrl-Alt-Enter. This apparently serves to 'hide' the intervening paragraph mark and leaves your work in the proper format to build the TOC as it should "Duke Carey" wrote: This may cross borders with other versions, too.
