Not unless you use Find and Replace to apply a heading style to all bolded
lines. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Pekka Numminen" wrote in message ... In Microsoft Word 2007, is there a way to include all bolded lines as lines in a table of contents? |

Retrieving bold lines as lines in Table of Contents
CTRL+H opens the replace dialog
With the cursor in the find box type CTRL+B (bold) Click the More button Click into the replace with box Format and pick a heading style Click CTRL+B Note that you should have Font: Bold under the empty find box and Syle: Heading 1, Font Bold under the empty replace box. If not click no formatting and start again! When you have this click replace. Note that if only part of the line is Bold, the whole paragraph will be formatted with the heading style, so click through one at a time. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Pekka Numminen wrote: On Sep 19, 6:02 pm, "Suzanne S.

Retrieving bold lines as lines in Table of Contents
I would suggest an alternative:
1. Search for ^p (a paragraph mark) with bold format. (This will ensure that you get just full paragraphs that are bold.) 2. Replace with the style but remove the bold formatting from the "Replace with" box (press Ctrl+B twice more until the Font: Bold disappears). I would worry that the headings would be bolded whether the style includes that format or not, or that Word would remove the bold formatting that might be included in the style. -- Suzanne S.

I agree about (1) but with (2) the replace with is not so clear cut. If you
use a style that is already bold then the bold attribute will be reversed. However if you use a style that is not bold, the bold attribute would be retained. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

Retrieving bold lines as lines in Table of Contents
Now I'm confused
 If the style in question has the bold attribute applied as part of its configuration, if you remove the bold attribute from the replacement box then it will be toggled off when the style is applied, so you would not have the stytle as designed? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

Retrieving bold lines as lines in Table of Contents
If I want to make all bold lines into headings, then I either want to apply
the Heading style as designed (bold or not) or, if the heading style is not bold and I want bold, I can modify the heading style to be bold. If the bold attribute is applied as direct formatting (which it would be with your Replace) then the TOC entries will also be bold. Note that when you apply a style, bold or otherwise, to a paragraph with direct font formatting applied to more than 50% of the text, the style is applied as defined. Only if the direct formatting is applied to less than 50% of the text is it ever retained or toggled, and in fact, in my experiments just now, I can't apply a bold heading style to a bold paragraph *or* a paragraph containing a small amount of bold text in any way (either by clicking in the paragraph or by selecting the entire paragraph) without the style being applied as defined (no toggling involved). The same obtains for italics when the style includes them. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...
