MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / April 2006Table of Authorities - Headings / Categories - Switches
I am working on a brief where I need a TOA that is broken down into cases from within my state and those from other jurisdictions. In marking the entries, I am marking the in-state cases as "cases" (1) and out-of-state cases as "8". In my TOA, I attempted to caption these using the \h switch without any success. { TOA \h "Cases from Other Jurisdictions" \c "8" } What I get is "8" as a heading instead of "Cases from Other Jurisdictions." Is there any way to do this, or do I just have to unlink the field and edit the result?

Please post replies and questions to the newsgroup so that others can learn from my ignorance and your wisdom. I've never used a TOA, so I'm not sure how this works (even after reading Word's Help on TOA and TA fields), but does anything different happen if you omit the quotes around "8"? From the Help, it appears that the \c category switch is *not* quoted in the TA field, but the examples do show it quoted after the \h switch in the TOA field, so it looks like you've got it right. I'm just wondering if you can have custom headings or if the ones that seem to be hard-coded in Word are the only allowable ones. SignatureSuzanne S.

Thanks Suzanne, I've been trying this for quite a while, just typing over the top in my final copy. Just thought I would ask in case someone else had ideas. I played with it some more. The quotation marks don't seem to matter, and moving the proposed text after the 8 didn't help either. As far as I'm concerned, it is still a great feature, especially the auto marking of short cites.

Try this: When you have the Mark Citation pop-up box open (after doing alt-shift-I), click the "category" button. Highlight "8" (or whichever one you want to change). In the "replace with" box type whatever you want to call your new category. Click "replace" and then "OK." I hope this helps.
