Table of Contents Formatting

[mdtoke]

Hi,

I have Word 2003. I have created a table of contents for a document. Some of the entries in the TOC retain the formatting from the document. Others do not. I do not see any difference between the headings in the document. Yet Word treats them differently. I am using a customized consistent format for all the headings. Can anyone help? Thanks.

The TOC will pick up any font formatting that is applied as direct
formatting (that is, formatting that is not the Default Paragraph Font for
the heading style).

For example, if you have All Caps included in the style definition, it will
not be picked up by the TOC. But if you apply All Caps formatting as direct
formatting, it will be. Where this can be deceptive is that if you have All
Caps formatting as part of the style definition, you may not realize that
the paragraph was actually typed with Caps Lock on. If you temporarily
remove the All Caps formatting, you can see the underlying capitalization.
Retype the paragraph in caps and lowercase, restore the default paragraph
formatting, and the TOC will sort itself out (when updated).
