ToC in Word 2

[sylve]

When you create a ToC that is based on a list, can you set it to evaluate only a certain range.

AKA: I don't want it to make a ToC for my whole list.

Things become part of the Table Of Contents when their paragraph format is on of the Header styles, or a style based on it.

For items on a list that should not be in Table Of Contents, use a different style not associated with Header styles. You can probably make it look very similar, but watch out for 'clever' software that just knowns you don't want to make you own choices and must be corrected to the Microsoft norm.

On documents I've worked on, I've sometimes found that a paragraphy written in bold text would be assigned to Header style, regardless of what I'd set it as. I found a work-round by adding some spaces after the text that were not bold. (If anyone knows of a better way, I'd be interested to learn about it.)

Thank you for the advice both but from what i can tell so far, there is no way to specify a specific range. Unfortunatly, this document has several outline levels i cannot edit. I want a ToC for every Level 1 text (each chapter will have a mini ToC.

I've tried entering the ToC in a sobdoc and so in the master doc they each have one BUT, the numbering to the left of the list is not dynamic and the ToC wont update...

Any ideas?

You could change the font properties so that particular entries become invisible, white-on-white.

Hi,
A couple of possibilities:

You can use the Alt+Shift+O combination to manually enter the TOC entries and then in the TOC dialog box, click on Options and put a checkmark in Table Entry Fields.

Or you can review this faq68-4539 to see if it meets your needs at all.

HTH,

Madawc - Go into "Tools" then "AutoCorrect Options" then "AutoFormat As You Type", and turn off "Built-in heading styles" and "define styles based on your formatting".

In my opinion, this tab of the dialog box would be better named "Meddle with my document without telling me..."
