Building Tables of Contents using styles

[Guest]

For the type of work I do, using styles to build a Table of Contents is much
preferred to using field codes.

I know that there is a way to insert a "hidden" paragraph mark (it shows up
as a red paragraph mark) into text so that the text before the hidden mark is
one style and the text behind the hidden mark is a different style. But I
cannot locate anywhere on the website how to manually insert this mark! Help?

Ex:
If I have the following:
Example Title 1: and here is whatever babble that is the rest of the
paragraph...
and I want ONLY "Example Title 1" to show up in the Table of Contents,
I would insert this special paragraph mark directly after the "1" and before
the ":"

Thanks to anyone who knows the answer to this!!

Using the Style Separator

The style separator is a hidden paragraph mark that serves as a delineator
between separate styles applied in a document. To make the style separator
mark visible, follow these steps:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. On the View tab, click All under Formatting Marks.
Before you can use the Style Separator feature, you must add the Style
Separator button to your toolbar: 1. Click Customize on the Tools menu.
2. Click the Commands tab, and then click All Commands in the Categories
list.
3. Locate InsertStyleSeparator in the Commands list, and then drag it to the
Formatting toolbar. Click Close.

Insert the style separator before you apply the heading style to your text.
To do this, use one of the following methods.
Method A: Use Style Separators to add a single word or phrase in a paragraph
to the TOC:
