MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / May 2004TOCs & their Styles
Hi, What's the best/safest way to modify the formatting of my Table of Contents? I'm using outline numbering with the built-in Headings, bookmarks surrounding my chapters and a TOC per chapter. For example, one of my TOCs looks like: { TOC \h \z \t "Heading 2,1,Heading 3,2,Heading 4,3" \b "Chapter1" } I cannot find the Style "TOC 1" in the "Styles and Formatting" bar regardless of what option I choose in the Show dropdown (Formatting in use, Available formatting, Available styles, etc.). Thanks, Keith Also, how do I go about changing the indents of all the pieces that make up the TOC: The heading numbers, the heading text, the page numbers. I might just be overly worried due to all the headaches surrounding outline numbering and how to change the format there. Thanks again, Keith >Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >Thanks, >Keith There is only one style for a given TOC entry; that is, the paragraph number, text, and page number will all be formatted the same. -- Suzanne S.

This can be very frustrating. In versions before 2002, you can select Format | Style, then select the appropriate style from "All styles." In Word 2002 and 2003, "All Styles" doesn't really display *all* styles; for the way to handle this, see http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/sfpane/StylesAndFormattingPane.html. One way to get to the TOC styles in any version of Word is through the Modify... button in the TOC dialog. None of this should be necessary, however, since by default all the TOC styles are set to update automatically, so any change you make to any TOC entry at a given level will be applied to the style and propagated to all the other entries. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Keith, The "styles and formatting" task pane probably shows the applied character style ("Hyperlink") if you are in some TOC paragraph? You can use a trick to make it (and the styles dropdown on the formatting toolbar) display the paragraph style: Select just the paragraph mark ?. Now you should be able to modify that style. (For the record: I don't like the way Word2002/2003 hides many built-in styles) Regards, Klaus > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Thanks, > Keith Viola! Perfect. Thanks for the great tip! >Hi Keith, > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >> Thanks, >> Keith |
