Hi Group,

I have generated a TOC and formatted the main (chapter) headings with small
caps for appearances sake. The prelims, which have page numbers in lowercase
Roman numerals, automatically are set in small caps too.
To fix this, I select the Romans and deselect the small caps in the Font
dialog.
All looks well.

Until printing. The page numbers jump back to small caps before printing.

Any cure for this?

All suggestions welcome!

Daniel.

I'd find it probably distracting when the headings are in small caps in
the TOC but not so in the text itself, however ...

The TOC fields gets updated before the print, and hence any direct
formatting is gone.

You could unlink the TOC field prior to the printout (CTRL SHIFT F9). A
cautious idea would be to save the TOC field into an AutoText before
doing so, which will speed up recreating it once you have new headings
or your pagination changes. You'll have to add the format of the page
numbers again in that case, of course.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your reply.
It is most useful, helpful and effective.

Re: smallcaps in TOC:
I am working to a design that is not mine. However, setting the first level
of the TOC in smallcaps looks well in this. There is ample white space to
set it off.

Daniel.
