Multi-coloured text in TOC possible?
Hi, I'm new to the forum - hope you can help me out!
I have a document that was originally English but has been translated into Chinese. However it has been done so that it is now a bilingual document, with the translated text inserted below each paragraph using a manual line break to separate the English text from the Chinese text. The Chinese text has then been formatted with a blue font colour to make the document visually easier to read. I have applied the \X switch in the TOC field to recognise the line breaks in the TOC, so the TOC is displayed with the Chinese heading text underneath the English heading text as per the main body of the document. However, the TOC only displays the Chinese text in black, despite it being formatted blue in the headings. Is there any way to display this in the TOC so the English text in the heading is black and the Chinese text is blue? |

Multi-coloured text in TOC possible?
In case there isn't a way to format the color automatically, a way to
handle it would be, after you're absolutely sure that everything in the ToC is absolutely correct, convert the ToC to plain text and apply the color manually.

Multi-coloured text in TOC possible?
How did you apply the color to text? By default, direct font formatting
(that is, formatting not applied via a style) should reflect in the TOC. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP --------------------------------------------- "kipster" wrote in message ...

Actually, this has come up before, and I found, to my surprise, that while
many kinds of direct font formatting (bold, italic, underline, All Caps, small caps, and the like) are reflected in the TOC, font color is not. Another example of Word doing just the opposite of what would really be helpful. -- Suzanne S.

Multi-coloured text in TOC possible?
Hi,
you didn't mention the Word version. I have a document that was originally English but has been translated into Chinese. However it has been done so that it is now a bilingual document, with the translated text inserted below each paragraph using a manual line break to separate the English text from the Chinese text. You didn't choose the best way. Instead of separating Chinese text from English text by manual breaks, paragraph marks would have been the better way. English and Chinese text should be formatted by different styles (including different font colour). So a TOC could have been created by entries of 2 different styles, and also the TOC could have used 2 different styles to reflect the colours. However, the TOC only displays the Chinese text in black, despite it being formatted blue in the headings. Is there any way to display this in the TOC so the English text in the heading is black and the Chinese text is blue? Create a paragraph style for Englisch text, create another one for Chinese text. Then modify your document. Replace manual line breaks (^l) by paragraph marks (^p): Strg + H More Find: ^l Replace: ^p Replace all Now select all blue coloured text. For that you can use the Styles pane ("select all # instances). Or use the Find dialog: Strg + H Alt + F Format | Font | Colour ... Highlight all items found in ... Apply your Chinese style to all selected paragraphs. In a similar way apply the English style to the other paragraphs. When inserting a TOC choose "Options". Apply 2 different TOC levels to your English and Chinese style (e. g. TOC level 1 and TOC level 2). So the TOC will be formatted by 2 different styles (TOC1, TOC2). Modify those styles to reflect different colours. Regards from Germany Lisa |

I vaguely recall that discussion. However, I have tested this in Word 2010,
and it seems to work as expected in that version, that is, direct color formatting is visible in the TOC. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP --------------------------------------------- "Suzanne S.

Multi-coloured text in TOC possible?
Interestingly, I'm not seeing that at all, even in Word 2010 (at least not
running on Windows XP--haven't tested in Windows 7). Actually, worse still, I'm seeing it intermittently. I can get blue to show up sometimes but never red. I thought perhaps it was a distinction between theme colors and standard colors, but it's not that simple. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for all your replies. The font colour was applied as direct formatting but unfortunately I am limited to Word 2003 here at work, so it looks like the easiest way to resolve my particular problem would be Peter's suggestion to convert the TOC to unformatted text and apply formatting manually.

Multi-coloured text in TOC possible?
Hi Suzanne, hi Stefan,
colors coming from theme colors, and being applied directly to text, seem to be considered in the TOC. But just "Text"-colors (Text 1, Text 2), not Background, Accent 1...) are considered. However, the color in the TOC is not the same as used in the main text: { TOC \o "1-1" \h \z \t "Title;2" } { TOC \o "1-1" \h \z \t "Title;2" \x } Removing \h in the TOC, and additionally (or instead of) using the switch \u, will reflect colors of main text in the TOC: { TOC \o "1-1" \z \t "Title;2" } { TOC \o "1-1" \z \t "Title;2" \x } { TOC \o "1-1" \h \z \t "Title;2" \u } { TOC \o "1-1" \z \t "Title;2" \u} -- Regards from Germany Lisa [MS MVP Word] "Stefan Blom" wrote OK, my limited testing seemed to indicate that all is now well (Word 2010 on Windows 7).

Thanks, as always, for your attention to detail, Lisa. Seems like this is
something it might be worthwhile to bring up with the Word team, as it seems to me that color should at least be handled consistently, though of course it would be most desirable for color to be treated the same as other font properties (italic, bold, etc.). -- Suzanne S.

Thanks, Stefan. In my own documents (for print), I do usually remove the \h
switch to make the TOC easier to edit, but when testing for other users I always create the bog-standard TOC (not changing any of the Options in the dialog) in order to be starting from a known default, so I hadn't tested that way. -- Suzanne S.

Multi-coloured text in TOC possible?
Okay, you made me look. Fired up the W7 laptop and WLM and hit Reply to a

Yes, WLM 2011 is release 15 (recently upgraded by Windows update to
15.4.3555.0308) and it makes use of the ribbon...
