Customizing styles
Hi Kuko
Two questions: 1. What version of Word are you using? 2. How do you want the heading itself to look? That is, how is the Descartes heading within the text to be formatted? What style are you using (Heading 2?), and do you want it to be in italics or not? Shauna Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "Kuko" wrote in message ... Hi. I'm wondering if I can customize styles so certain parts of the phrase can have different font attributes. I want to create a table of contents. The index style I like most includes a TD3 style which writes the whole line in italics. I know I can customize TD3 so it is in regular style, but what I want is to have Word put it like that: 1.1.1 (in regular chars) title (in italics).......(separator in regular chars) page (in regular chars). This is more or less what I'm trying to do. I do it now manually (by italizing the title part of the index entry: http://img321.imageshack.us/my.php?image=index1fx.png Is there a way to get Word to do it automatically? TIA |

Hi Kuko
Sorry, I can't see any way to achieve what you want. But maybe some else will be able to figure out a way. Cheers Shauna Shauna Kelly.

What style are you using (Heading 2?), and do you want it to be in italics or not? If you look at the image I linked to in my previous post, you'll see two versions of that part of the index. The first one, which I marked with the words "What Word does" is just that, I mean, what Word does right now when I tell it to make the index. The style for that place in the hierarchy of matters is called "TD3", and it puts ALL the line in italics, as you can see in the image I linked to in my first post. The second version, which is what I'm doing manually and which you can see in the image under the name of "What I want", has in italics ONLY the part of the entry which holds the name of that particular section of the document, but it has in regular characters (instead of in italics) the entry number (6.1 for Descartes and 6.2 for Leibniz), the separator characters (........, etc.) and the number of the page (404 for Descartes and 406 for Leibniz in the image). What I want Word to do and was asking here if that was possible is to build the index the second way. I can edit the style named TD3 so it puts all the parts of the index entry in regular characters, but I'm wondering if I can edit it so it puts automatically every entry in that level of the index hierarchy the second way (i.e, the number of the entry, as well as the separator and the page number, in regular character, then the subject on the entry in italic characters). I hope you can understand me. Apologies for my bad english and thank you for your interest. Regards |
