Table of Contents

[Theresa]

How can I keep the rest of the paragraph from printing on the table of
contents when all I want is the auto number and the title that follows. The
balance of the paragraph runs on after this title. I'm in Word 2007.

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/RunInSidehead.htm, but note that both
style separators and hidden paragraph marks may cause paragraph numbering to
be omitted from the TOC. If this proves to be the case, you can use a custom
TC field created with StyleRef fields; see the very end of
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm

The Style Separator worked great. The TOC entries displayed the auto
numbering when styled with Heading 1 or 2 and the remainder of the paragraph
styled as Body Text. Thanks for your help.

I'm glad to hear that the numbering was not a problem with the style
separator. It seems I had heard conflicting reports.

Gulp. I'm creating my FIRST TOC in Word 2007. From what I've been reading
I'm scared to death to even start.

I have a "manual" that I am creating. I don't use Headings and turn off
auto numbering because I always get into trouble that I can't get out of--I'm
converting from WordPerfect to Word. The manual has headings right now and I
tried to create a TOC with the existing headings and got nowhere.

Where is the best place to go to get step-by-step instructions for TOC in
Word 2007? My Word 2007 Dummies book wasn't very helpful; guess I'm a real
dummy!

Thanks for helping.


I know lots of your MVPs have websites: Where should I go?

You can start with http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html.
Although it has not, I think, been updated for Word 2007, the principles
still apply.
