Hi,

you didn't mention the Word version.

You didn't choose the best way. Instead of separating Chinese text from
English text by manual breaks, paragraph marks would have been the
better way. English and Chinese text should be formatted by different
styles (including different font colour). So a TOC could have been
created by entries of 2 different styles, and also the TOC could have
used 2 different styles to reflect the colours.

Create a paragraph style for Englisch text, create another one for
Chinese text.
Then modify your document. Replace manual line breaks (^l) by
paragraph marks (^p):

Strg + H
More
Find: ^l
Replace: ^p
Replace all

Now select all blue coloured text. For that you can use the Styles pane
("select all # instances).
Or use the Find dialog:

Strg + H
Alt + F
Format | Font | Colour ...
Highlight all items found in ...

Apply your Chinese style to all selected paragraphs.
In a similar way apply the English style to the other paragraphs.

When inserting a TOC choose "Options". Apply 2 different TOC levels to
your English and Chinese style (e. g. TOC level 1 and TOC level 2).
So the TOC will be formatted by 2 different styles (TOC1, TOC2). Modify
those styles to reflect different colours.

Lisa
