I have a header 5 that is quite long. I would like to artificially introduce
a line break into it so that it will look better on the page and also in the
table of contents. Is that possible? If so, how do I do it?

I am working in Word 2003.

Thank you,
Cheryl

If you need the break in the original location as well as the TOC, use
Shift-Enter.

Thank you for your prompt response. The shift-enter worked in the document,
but the line break didn't show up in the table of contents. It still put
just the last word on the new line. Also the page number is not right
justified with the rest of the page numbers.

Press Alt+F9 to show field codes, and add a \x switch to the TOC
field to preserve line breaks from the headings.

You can also wrap long lines in the TOC (which may cause a break in a
different place) by applying a right indent to the TOC style (leaving the
tab stop where it is, beyond the paragraph margin).
