Hiding Headers Before Section Break
My document uses headers that are associated with the Table of Contents. I
have several pages of information including cover sheet and TOC (and others) which are then followed by a section break. The pages after the section break utilize the headers which is exactly what I want. However, it is the pre-section break headers that I would like to either hide or ideally eliminate. My work around it currently to insert a blank text box over these headers but everytime I update my document (F9) these text boxes disappear (where? I don't know) and I have to do it all over again. Is there a better way to do this? |

Use a \b switch in the TOC field to specify that it should pull its entries only from the bookmarked area.

Hiding Headers Before Section Break
Thanks for the info. Can you clarify a few points? After the creation of a
bookmark (named AllChapters) is the /b entered in the header at any random spot in the document or in the header section in my TOC?

Hiding Headers Before Section Break
The /b switch is included in the TOC field. Another way to omit certain
headings from a TOC is to use a different style for them. For example, I use a style called TOC Head for the Contents heading. It is formatted to look just like Heading 1 (but is not based on Heading 1) and has an outline level of Body Text so that it will not be included in the TOC. -- Suzanne S.

Hiding Headers Before Section Break
The \b switch (using a backslash, not a forward slash) doesn't go in any
header. It goes into the field code of the TOC field. Click at the beginning of the existing table of contents, right-click, and choose Toggle Field Codes. The table of contents will collapse to the field code, which will look something like { TOC \o "1-3" \h \z } Put the cursor between the letters TOC and the \o. Type the \b switch and bookmark name into it so the result looks something like this (don't change the other information if it's different from what's shown here): { TOC \b AllChapters \o "1-3" \h \z } Then press F9 to update the table of contents, and tell it to update the entire table. The result will be a TOC that contains only the headings from within the bookmark. briank wrote: Thanks for the info. Can you clarify a few points?

Hiding Headers Before Section Break
Jay, as you suggested I inputted the following:
{TOC \b AllChapters\o "1-3" \H \Z \U } I updated and when upon Alt f9 I notice that the headers are still visible. Am I missing something in my code?

Hiding Headers Before Section Break
Could we clarify that you are in fact referring to TOC entries based on
headings and not "headers" at the tops of the front matter pages? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "briank" wrote in message ...

In that case, either approach should work (bookmark or different headings).
