FISHING

This is a great sport. I wish everyone could get into it like many common
people have already. Spending days on the water with nothing to show for it
but wet clothes and a muddy dog.

SURFING

A sport that catches the water at it's best. Feel the pain, start today.


I have another program that is sending this text to a word document. I can
only control the text, not the formatting. I need to create a TOC based upon
this doc. The TOC must also have outline number formatting. I have done
this in the past with search and replace and formatting. I can's figure a
way to change the ALL CAPS words to header 1 with find and replace. I also
need a way to pull specific parts of the paragraphs into a header 2 level and
include in the TOC.

Here is what I need to end up with:

1. FISHING
1.1 nothing to show for it

2. SURFING
2.1 start today

I can use markers in the other program to indicate a start and stop
character for the search, but can't figure out how to get find and replace to
select between start and stop then change format. Any ideas?

Hi Dan,

You can apply the heading style with two wildcard replacements:
Edit Replace, check "Match wildcards",
Find what: (^13)([A-Z ]@^13)
Replace with: \1h1\2

Find what: \h1\(?)
Replace with: \1 ((and Format Style =3D Heading 1))


You could remove the empty paragraphs at the same time, changing the =
first replacement to
Find what: (^13)[^13]@([A-Z ]@^13)[^13]@
The empty space before/after headings is better done with "Space =
before/after" in the heading's style definition.


The Word help has something on Find/Replace with "placeholders", or you =
can read more about it here if you're interested:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/UsingWildcards.htm


To pick up just a small random part of a chapter as a "heading" in the =
TOC, you could insert paragraph marks before and after the text, =20
FISHING=C2=B6
This is a great sport. I wish everyone could get into it like many =
common=20
people have already. Spending days on the water =C2=B6
with nothing to show for it=C2=B6=20
but wet clothes and a muddy dog.=C2=B6

Then format "with nothing to show for it" in a new paragraph style, say =
"TOC_Level2", and pick that up in the TOC:
{ TOC \h \z \t "Heading 1;1;TOC_Level2;2" }

You could apply outline numbering to the TOC styles for the numbers, but =
I don't really see the sense in having numbers in the TOC that don't =
appear in the main text.

Regards,
Klaus
