How to make subheads italic, but not italic in TOC?
I have a Word doc in which some subheads must be italic, but I don't want
them to be italic in the TOC. How do I make them different? Thanks! |

If you're generating a TOC based on styles the headings in italics in the
body of your document should not be italicized in the TOC. "Kate" wrote: I have a Word doc in which some subheads must be italic, but I don't want them to be italic in the TOC. How do I make them different? Thanks! |

You must include the italic formatting as part of the heading style. If it
is applied as direct formatting, it will show up in the TOC. -- Suzanne S.

OK, I created a new style called Level 2 Subhead that's based on Normal plus
italic, double-spaced. I manually removed the italic from the first few subheads, and then, in the Style formatting pane, I selected each subhead and clicked Clear Formatting, and then clicked Level 2 Subhead. I did this for a few TOC entries, and then updated the entire TOC and looked at it in Print Preview, but the entries that I designated Level 2 Subhead still show up italic. Do you have any more suggestions? Thank you! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You must include the italic formatting as part of the heading style.

TOC styles are set to update automatically, though I find this is more
dependable for paragraph than for character styles; still, I wonder if the TOC style could have picked up the italics. If you have done everything just as you describe it, including updating the entire TOC, then I can't explain what you're seeing. BTW, is there some reason you're not just using Heading 2 for your Level 2 subheads? -- Suzanne S.

Because I need to have all the TOC entries Times New Roman 12-pt, with no
bold or italic. I guess I could modify the Heading 2 style, right? "Suzanne S.

I modified the Heading 2 specs and it worked. Thank you so much! You MVP's
are the best. "Suzanne S.

Yes, I was afraid you were going at this backward and trying to modify the
TOC entries directly (which you can't do) rather than the headings themselves. -- Suzanne S.
