non printing mark
In a doc sent me by an outside party there's a mark I can't identify.
It appears in headings, using the built-in Heading 2 style, but modified. The mark looks like (two greater than signs), only smaller and a single character. It's followed by a paragraph mark. Also, it appears to be red. When reveal codes is on, the heading appears to end after the paragraph mark. However, when reveal codes is off, the text appears to continue on the same line as the heading text. Also, in the TOC, only the heading text before the mark is picked up. It seems like a useful little trick, but how do you duplicate it? |

What you're describing is a right guillemet (»), but it must indicate a
Style Separator. I didn't realize there was a nonprinting character for that; we need to add that to the article at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne - you have correctly identified the mark. Can you help me accomplish
what this appears to do? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: What you're describing is a right guillemet (»), but it must indicate a Style Separator.

My understanding was that a style separator was inserted automatically when
you "paint" a heading style onto just the first part of a paragraph, but others have told me that the style separator must be explicitly inserted.* I haven't tried either and don't know what to believe. But you can certainly accomplish the same thing without a style separator (even in earlier versions in which the ss is not available); see http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/RunInSidehead.htm For more on the use of style separators, see "How to create a table of contents by marking text in Word 2002" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=285059 *Yet Word provides no easy way to do this: it's not on the Insert menu; you have to drag it from Tools | Customize to a toolbar or menu. -- Suzanne S.
