Table of Contents
I am working with a document which I did not generate. There is a code in
the table of contents that I am not familiar with and don't know where to find. Two of the numbered paragraphs in the document do not appear in the TOC, but I don't know how to mark them in the same manner as the others. The code used for the other numbered paragraphs is {tc"2. Definitions" \f C\1 1} I'm used to using headings, but have never seen this code. How is it achieved? Thank you. Bev |

Table of Contents
The TOC field can pull entries from any or all of these sources: from
specific styles that you designate (built-in or user-defined), from paragraphs assigned specific outline levels (whether defined in the paragraph style or assigned as part of direct paragraph formatting), or by from TC fields. Which sources it uses depends on what switches are included in the TOC field: \o says to use built-in heading styles, \t says to use other styles, \u says to use outline levels, and \f says to use TC fields. You can include any one or more of these switches in a single TOC field -- for example, {TOC \o "1-3" \f} would tell it to include styles Heading 1 through Heading 3 plus any TC fields. These switches in the TOC field can be generated automatically by checking the appropriate boxes in the Options dialog reached from the TOC dialog, or you can edit them manually (http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/TOCSwitches.htm). You can create TC fields anywhere in the document to generate specific text in the table of contents. You can use the Insert Field dialog or write the field code manually (after pressing Ctrl+F9 to create the field markers). The Help topic "Field codes: TC (Table of Contents Entry) field" explains the meanings of the switches. The field you showed says that the text "2. Definitions" (without the quotes) will appear in the table of contents at level 1 (actually the "1" in the "\1" should be a lower case ell, not a digit one). The \f C isn't really necessary, as it says the entry goes into the table of contents (the default) rather than a table of figures or any other special-purpose table. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Table of Contents
The table of contents used in the document is based on TC fields. You can
insert these fields by selecting the text to mark, and then pressing Alt+Shift+O; this displays the Mark Table of Contents Entry dialog box. Specify the level and, if necessary, edit the suggested text. Then click OK. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Bev" wrote in message ...

Stefan: Thank you. This forum has been so helpful to me in situations where
I just don't know what I am doing. I learn something every time I post a question - sometimes the answer to my question - other times something about human nature - but always something. You gave me exactly what I needed. An instruction that provided the visual I needed to understand the field construction, not to even mention the ability to fix the TOC with minimum fuss.
