what is a style separator?
How is the style separator used in Word? I have Word 03. In the middle of a
paragraph I choose Format/File Separator. I want the first part of the paragraph (which is formatted with Heading 1 style) to appear in the table of contents, but I don't want the remainder of the paragraph in the TOC. Isn't the Style Separator the way to achieve this? Say, by formatting the second half of the paragraph in Body text style? |

what is a style separator?
That article really doesn't have much about the style separator because I
didn't exactly understand it (and in any case the point of the article was to provide a workaround for versions before Word 2002). My understanding was that if you apply a style to selected text at the beginning of the paragraph, then Word applies it as (basically) a character style but in such a way that it is picked up by the TOC and that Word inserts a style separator. There isn't any obvious way, through the UI, for users to insert style separators, which is why I assumed it was something Word did. Word's Help has nothing about style separators (or at least the articles that come up if you search for "style separator" don't look promising). The MSKB is a bit more helpful. "How to create a table of contents by marking text in Word 2002 and Word 2003" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=285059) talks about "Lead-in Emphasis," which appears to be the bit about applying a heading style to the first part of a paragraph, and it seems to work pretty much as I thought. The article also describes how to use style separators, but it requires adding a toolbar button for the InsertStyleSeparator command, which doesn't suggest that ordinary users are expected to want to do this. The article also says: "NOTE: The style separator is a special form of a hidden paragraph mark, so documents created in Word 2003 and Word 2002 with style separators appear the same in Word 2000 and Microsoft Word 97 unless you click All under Formatting Marks. If you click All under Formatting Marks in earlier versions of Word, the style separator hidden paragraph mark appears as a normal paragraph mark, and the document will be repaginated. "When you view documents created in Word 2003 and Word 2002 with style separators in earlier versions of Word, do not click All under Formatting Marks." So basically the choice is between a hidden paragraph mark that you can display (so you know what you're dealing with) and a hidden paragraph mark that is always hidden, so you're totally confused! -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
I have been learning a lot on this forum recently, and your name just seems to keep being the one to answer my questions! I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for all the input and expertise you are sharing here. Paul "Suzanne S.
