Table of Contents setup
I am using Word 2003. I have created a table of contents using heading
styles. Is there a switch I can use to force the table of contents into two columns? I manually created the columns and column breaks, but each time the table is updated, it reverts to one column. I also tried using the Index in place of the table of contents as it can be done in two columns, but it can only be done alphabetically as opposed to the order in which headings appear in the document. Does the Index have a switch to force it to appear in the order in which it is in the document? TIA, Ricki |

Table of Contents setup
Insert a two-column section in the document, with one-column paragraphs
before and after the section breaks. Then insert the TOC in the two-column section, and it will be formatted for two columns automatically. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for your response. I did that, then set the dot leader tab for each
column so page numbers would align, but when I had to update the field, I lost the tab formatting. Any way to avoid this? TIA, Ricki "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Table of Contents setup
If you insert the TOC *after* creating a two-column section, Word should
automatically position the page numbers (and the corresponding tab stop) in the correct location. -- Suzanne S.
