Want Heading without pg # in ToC
I would like 4 headings to show in the ToC but not the dot leaders or page
number. I gave them a different style and assigned them ToC Level 1. They show up with the dot leaders & page numbers. Since there are only 4 of these in the document, I tried to delete the dot leaders and page numbering manually. I am able to delete the dot leaders but when I try to highlight the page number the heading is highlighted too so I can't delete just the page number. Working in Word 2003 on a stand alone PC, with XP. Any insights much appreciated! |

Want Heading without pg # in ToC
If you want them treated differently, you will need to give them a different
outline level (so they will use a different TOC style) and then suppress the numbering for that level. The headings at this outline level can be formatted identical to those at another level that do have page numbers. -- Suzanne S.

Want Heading without pg # in ToC
Thx a mint for the reply, Suzanne.
Of course, that makes complete sense. I have done that but cannot figure out how to supress the page numbering for just that ONE level in the ToC. Any suggestions on how to do that? I have tried looking in all the options under "Format" and "Modify". I did see where to turn off the dot leaders and page numbers on the ReferenceToC main window, but that turns it off for all levels of the ToC. Suggestions from anyone much appreciated. "Suzanne S.

Ah, you've been caught by the "gotcha" explained in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TOCSwitches.htm and http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm: the \n switch requires "inclusive" numbers (that is, expressed as a range). To omit numbering for Level 2, for example, you must use the switch \n 2-2. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "klam" wrote in message ...

Want Heading without pg # in ToC
Thx a mint Suzanne. Took a few "go's" at it, but the ToC is fab now!
Boy, just when I thought I was pretty good at ToC's, I feel like a moron again! cheers, "Suzanne S.

Modify the TOC style by selecting the tab setting, choosing "none" for the tab leader (tab leaders are defined per tab, so be careful to select the right tab!). IMHO you cannot control the page numbering of DIFFERENT heading levels - it's either show all or none. A macro may come to rescue. A workaround may be to select the page numbers in the TOC and give them a white color (ALT+left mouse button pressed allows a vertical selection of all page numbers in one go, so you don't have to do it for each page number individually - I didn't test whether it works for TOCs though). However, when I fiddled a bit I found that updating the entire TOC restores the formatting. Oddly, when I chose Update page numbers only, the white (so invisble font) remained in place! Assuming I didnt make a mistake, then you cld apply this trick as soon as your doc structure is final. HTH - Henk -- Henk57 |

- it's either show all or none. Unless I'm misunderstanding you, this is just not true. You can suppress page numbering for any given level or levels (you can even, using the workaround I describe in http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm, omit page numbers for nonconsecutive levels). Another workaround that's been suggested (though it's unnecessary and a little bizarre) is to omit the leader and set the right tab beyond the right page edge. -- Suzanne S.
