Table of Contents with text that does not appear anywhere in the document
If you're basing your document entirely on TC fields, then you need to clear
the check boxes for "Styles" and "Outline levels" in the TOC Options. Alternatively, if you want some styles to be picked up, just delete the outline level from beside the style for which you're using a TC field instead. Note, however, that you can't mix and match; you have to use either a style or TC fields for all headings of a given type unless you use a different style for the ones for which you're using TC fields. That's clear as mud, I know, so let me clarify. If you want most of your Heading 1 paragraphs included in the TOC but just want to change the wording of a few of them, then you'll need to create another style, *not* based on Heading 1, that replicates the formatting of Heading 1 except for the outline level (should be Body Text). Use that style for the headings you'll pick up with TC fields instead. Note that this will *not* work if you need to number the headings. In that case, you'll probably just need to throw in the towel and use the same wording for the heading in the text and in the TOC. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "dslocum" wrote in message ... I need to create a TOC who's listings may not share the same words as the the document. Example: Chapter 3 is entitled "Registering a New Customer" But the TOC needs to read: "Customer Registration" I have been to Suzanne Barnhill's website that explains how to tweak a TOC. I followed her procedures for entering a TC field to have the TOC display words that are actually anywhere in the document but now my TOC reads: "Registering a New Customer Customer Registration" Here is what I entered into the document in the heading of Chapter 3: Registering a New Customer{ TC "Customer Registration" \f c\l "1" } Any idea what I am doing wrong? denny -- dslocum |

I agree it isn't very obvious.
