MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / May 2007Borders in consecutive paaragraphs
I am trying to define TOC styles so that every entry in the TOC has a bottom border. The problem is that if consecutive paragraphs have the same border, the border is only displayed in the last of the paragraphs. You'll need a Horizontal Inside Border as well.  SignatureSuzanne S.

Suzanne But how do you do an inside border when applied to a paragraph, not a table? > You'll need a Horizontal Inside Border as well. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > border, >> the border is only displayed in the last of the paragraphs. You need to select two paragraphs to make that option available in the Borders and Shading dialog. SignatureSuzanne S.

Suzanne I was trying to do it by modifying the TOC1 style. As you save, you get this option if you select two paragraghs with the TOC1 style attached before selecting Modify but in theory you didn't ought to need to do this if modifying a style. > You need to select two paragraphs to make that option available in the > Borders and Shading dialog.

TOC styles are set to update automatically, so you can select any two TOC entries at the appropriate level and apply this formatting, and it will be saved to the style. SignatureSuzanne S.

I always remove the update automatically option - to quote one of your fellow MVPs - it should be renamed "screw up automatically". Anyway, it works now, so thanks again. > TOC styles are set to update automatically, so you can select any two TOC > entries at the appropriate level and apply this formatting, and it will be [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >> >> > border, >> >> >> the border is only displayed in the last of the paragraphs. I believe it is useful for the TOC styles (especially when the entire entry is linked, making it more difficult than usual to access the Modify Style dialog for the TOC style), so I leave it enabled for those; I think those are about the only ones that are so formatted by default.
