MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / October 2005Heading style problem
Hi all. I want to create a heading that displays the following: Chapter X Name of the chapter I want it to include a line break after inserting the numeration. How is it possible? Is it going to appear well-formatted on the TOC? TA.  SignatureSaludos a todos # # Contra el terrorismo # First, set up numbering as described at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html. If you want your heading to be centered, make sure to specify "Nothing" for "Follow number with" in the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog box. If you want the text in the TOC to occupy a single line, all you have to do is separate the "Chapter #" part and the chapter title with a line break (press Shift+Enter to insert one). The line break will be ignored by the TOC (unless you add the \x switch to the field code). In the document: Chapter #<line break> Chapter title here In the TOC: Chapter # Chapter title here Alternatively, if you don't want the "Chapter" part to be in the TOC, use two styles: Heading 1 for the numbering and a custom style for the title of the TOC. When you create the TOC, make sure to exclude Heading 1 and add your custom style. Note that if you do want the chapter number (but not the word "Chapter") to be in the TOC you can then add numbering to the TOC 1 style, which is used by Word to add level one text in the TOC.

This works fine if you don't need to include the chapter number in an outline numbering scheme, page numbers, figure captions, etc. SignatureSuzanne S.

Look up the TOC-field in your offline help; the "\n"-switch is your friend. Greetinx Robert Signature/"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word In that case, you do what Stefan told you first: set "nothing" to follow the numbering and insert a line break manually. The line break will become a space in the TOC. SignatureSuzanne S.

There are two ways to achieve Chapter 1 Title..............................1 1. Assuming you've used a line break after the numbering, you can insert an \x switch in the TOC field to make it preserve newline characters (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TOCSwitches.htm). Note that this will also preserve any other line breaks you have in the titles. 2. You can use two styles, one for the numbering and one for the title. Assign different outline levels to them, and omit numbering in the TOC for the outline level used for the chapter number. This is also explained in the above-referenced article. If you want both TOC 1 and TOC 2 (or the appropriate TOC levels) both flush left, you'll need to modify TOC 2. SignatureSuzanne S.

Is there any good tutorial where I can learn this type of macro things? TOC and so on. TA. > Sorry, my answer was incorrect for what you say you want.

SignatureSaludos a todos # # Contra el terrorismo # Well, this isn't "macro things," as I don't do VBA. Word's Help on fields is usually pretty good. If you search the Help for "field codes," many of the hits will be articles on specific fields. SignatureSuzanne S.
