What's the best way to handle this situation:
Let's say I have a long document with Heading 3 being a.,b.,c., etc. All but two or three of these headings have an introductory title such as, "Warranties and Representations," or something like that to go along with the heading number in the TOC, after which I could place a hidden paragraph mark to prevent the body text from appearing; but the two or three paragraphs in question have only an "a." and then go straight into a paragraph with no introductory heading. What I've been doing is just erasing that paragraph from the TOC when it appears, but I don't feel as if that's the answer because people on the other end might get a surprise when making edits and updating. How would you handle that situation? Is there a field code that I can use to omit both the paragraph and the heading number in such cases since just having an "a" is obviously no good? Thanks for being there, and what in the world would I do if you weren't?!! |

You could create an additional paragraph style based on your numbered
heading; it will then follow the heading numbering, but it won't appear in the TOC, assuming that you set the "outline level" to "Body Text." -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Island Girl" wrote in message ...

And if you need it to be all on one line, you insert a Style Separator
between the Heading and text. Terry "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...
