Customising Table of Contents Headng
Dear experts.
I am using Word 2002 SP3 on WinXP SP2. My Table of Contents is more or less the way I want it, except for the heading€¦ The heading of the automatically-generated TOC is pulled, logically enough, from the text of the Title field. What I dont want is the page number that appears beside it. Who wants to know that the title is on page 1 ?! Is there a switch I can stick into the field to suppress this misshapen embellishment? E.g. analogous to the \o 1-3 heading level selection switch? Also, are there other options for TOC headings? I can tweak it manually, I suppose, but I wanted to have a way of proofing myself against the scenario where some user (e.g. me!) forgetfully hits Update entire table on the TOC and gets extra stuff that I didn't want back again. Regards Hopeful Kiwi |

Actually, there's no good reason for using the Title style for your TOC
head (it's intended for the title of the whole document); I generally use a separate TOC Head style that looks like Heading 1 but doesn't have an outline level. You can omit the Title style from your TOC, however, by clearing the number beside Title in the TOC Options dialog or by changing the outline level of the style to Body Text. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm for more tips on formatting TOCs. -- Suzanne S.
