Generating a Table of Contents with Rules in Word 2007
The Table of Contents (TOC) for an installation guide I am updating includes
rules before each Heading 1. However, the rules do not show up in the TOC if the previous section in the document does not have a Heading 2 style applied. Sometimes a section just doesnt have any other headings besides Heading 1, but I need to have the rules appear in the TOC. How can I do that without making up a section for the Heading 2 style? I tried to recreate the TOC below. Section 5 does not have a rule because Section 4 in the document only has the Heading 1 style applied. If Section 4 had a Heading 2, then the rule would appear. Appendix A and Appendix B do not have rules because the previous sections do not have Heading 2 styles. Table of Contents __________________________________________________ _____ SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION...................................... .................2 Document Conventions....................................... ..................2 __________________________________________________ _____ SECTION 2: OVERVIEW.......................................... ...................4 About The Software.......................................... ....................4 __________________________________________________ _____ SECTION 3: INSTALLATION...................................... .................5 Installation Steps............................................. .....................5 __________________________________________________ _____ SECTION 4: TROUBLESHOOTING INSTALLATION PROBLEMS.........6 SECTION 5: SUMMARY........................................... ...................7 APPENDIX A: ACRONYMS.......................................... .................8 APPENDIX B: SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS...................................... ..9 I know this is confusing. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks, Linda |

It sounds like the "rule" you're using is a top paragraph border applied to the TOC1 style. The top and bottom paragraph borders do NOT appear between multiple paragraphs of the same style. When a block of paragraphs are formatted with the same border style, the border only appears on the top (or bottom) paragraph of the block. What you need to do is modify the borders for the TOC1 style so that there is both a top border and a middle horizontal border. Open the Styles window (Alt-Ctrl-Shift-S). Select two paragraphs of the TOC1 style, right-click on the style name, and select "Modify." Then click the "Format" button and select "Border..." Make sure that both the top border and the middle horizontal border are selected. That should do it.
