Styles / TOC W2003
Word 2003, Windows 2000 Professional. Familiar with Word but not Styles.
I had 6 WordPerfect documents, 50 pages long with a 2 page TOC, direct formatting (not using styles). Opened in WP, €śsaved as€ť Word 2000 about 2 years ago with some cursory changes. We have since gone to Word 2003 and now need to work on these files. Been reading Help&How to / Tutorials on Styles as I believe I need styles to update my TOC. I think because are Normal+ styles and not in Heading Style. I am thinking of selecting each entry and apply the appropriate Heading Style I need. Am I on right track? Should I use €śStyles&Form - New style (add to template?? Auto update??), or Reveal Frmt, or Find & Replace. |

Suzanne:
Just got back to this project - I want to delete any field marked for the TOC. Example: {tc "SECTION 1 PLAN INFORMATION"}. What do I use in find to delete this info. I tried using {tc * with wildcard checked and got a message 'The Find What text contains a Pattern Match expression which is not valid.' What should I have used?

I had 6 WordPerfect documents, 50 pages long with a 2 page TOC, direct formatting (not using styles). Opened in WP, "saved as" Word 2000 about 2 years ago with some cursory changes. We have since gone to Word 2003 and now need to work on these files. Been reading Help&How to / Tutorials on Styles as I believe I need styles to update my TOC. I think because are Normal+ styles and not in Heading Style. I am thinking of selecting each entry and apply the appropriate Heading Style I need. Am I on right track? Should I use "Styles&Form - New style (add to template?? Auto update??), or Reveal Frmt, or Find & Replace. |
