insert line break in a heading
I'm trying to create a custom numbered heading and I need the number to be on
one line, and the text to follow below. similar to what I have below, yet right-aligned. 1 Heading Text 2 Heading Text etc. I need this for the Heading 1 style and I cannot simply add it after the style is applied by shift + enter. I tried shift + enter in Styles Formating Heading 1 Format Numbering Customize and adding a shift + enter break after the number in the Number format field. But, this adds a white box that I cant get rid of. Any suggestions? |

insert line break in a heading
Unfortunately, a line break is not one of the options for separating the
number and text (the only options are Space, Tab, and Nothing); your only recourse is to insert it manually. You might, however, see the examples in http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm, which illustrate how to use two separate styles for the heading number and heading text (and still have numbered TOC entries). -- Suzanne S.

insert line break in a heading
Why can't you use Shift+Enter? That's what Shift+Enter is for (among other
reasons). Does it cause some kind of conflict or other problem? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "JayA" wrote in message ...

insert line break in a heading
Thank you both.
Yes, Shift + enter inserts a square symbol between the chapter number and title. I've tried to accept the square tried to hide it by applying the same color blue as the background. Yet, this causes the number to turn blue as well. "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: Why can't you use Shift+Enter? That's what Shift+Enter is for (among other reasons).

insert line break in a heading
Does this symbol print? Is it displayed even when you have nonprinting
characters hidden? I would still recommend using two separate styles (see my previous post). -- Suzanne S.

insert line break in a heading
I wonder if this is an artifact of the font you're using. Try Suzanne's
suggestion of toggling off the display of non-printing characters (Ctrl+Shift+*/8). If the character disappears, then it's a non-printing indicator (in Arial/Times New Roman, it usually displays somewhat differently from what you describe)--but won't cause problems when the document is printed. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "JayA" wrote in message ...
