Is is possible and if so.... how ... do you create a cover sheet to show and print BEFORE the TOC without it becoming part of the TOC? I am creating a manuscript and have got the TOC generating correctly - but when I tried to add a Cover sheet with title and authors name, it messed up the TOC and when I try to correct the cover sheet - it messes up the TOC
thank

Hi Beth

By default, the TOC is built by collecting all the paragraphs that are
formatted in styles Heading 1, Heading 2, or Heading 3, plus any
styles having outline levels 1, 2, or 3. (You can change the behavior
by clicking the Options button in the TOC dialog and altering the
definition.) If the paragraphs on your cover sheet fit that
description, they'll be included in the TOC.

To stop that, make up one or more new styles that have different
names, with the same formatting as the cover sheet has now, but body
text outline level. You do this in Word 2000 and earlier by clicking
the New button in the Format > Style dialog, or in Word 2002/2003 by
clicking the New Style button on the Styles and Formatting task pane.
After you name the new style and base it on one of the Heading styles,
click Format > Paragraph and set the Outline Level dropdown to Body
text. Apply the new style(s) to the cover sheet text, and update the
TOC.
 
try a page break before the TOC to create a new page
before the TOC.
