Table of Contents problem
I am working with Word 2003.
I have auto-numbered heading styles used throughout my document to number the different sections. The styles are all formatted the same way (Times New Roman, bold, 14 pt) but the section numbers change based on the heading level used (1, 1.1, 1.1.1 etc) I generated a ToC based on heading styles in order to show the section numbers, the heading text and the page number. The font style is set as Times New Roman, 12 pt, (no bold). The heading text and the page number are fine in the ToC but the section numbers are showing up bold. Any idea what the problem could be? Thanks. |

The most likely explanation is that you defined the number formatting as
Bold in Format | Bullets and Numbering | Outline Numbered | Customize instead of letting the numbering inherit the formatting of the style (which is bold, anyway). This may be difficult to undo because you don't want to apply Regular (which causes the number to be Regular even when the heading is Bold), but the Font box shows empty boxes for Font, Font style, and Size, so there's nothing to clear, and even resetting the numbering format doesn't seem to help. To tell the truth, I'm not sure how to correct this problem (if in fact this is what is at issue). -- Suzanne S.

It looks like this was the problem. Thank you.
I tried resetting the Outline Numbered gallery choice and although I need to adjust my tabs now, it's gotten me back to something I can work with. I really appreciate your help. And I've learned something about the numbering inheriting the style format. "Suzanne S.

Glad you got it sorted, and I'm glad resetting the numbering helped. It
didn't seem to work for me. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "songinthedark" wrote in message ...
