I am using Word 2003
I want to add a title to a page - mainly so that the title will be in the
index, but I do not want the title to print on the page it is on. I know I
have done this in the past, but right now, I can not remember how to do this.
Ex: "A Title XXX" on page 10, so that the index will show "A Title XXX" in
the index beginning on page 10. But i do not want "A Title XXX" to print on
page 10. Can anyone help me with this? I am kind of in a hurry if anyone
can answer me ASAP.

thank you - Aurora

You can have an index entry field (XE field) on a page without putting the
same text in the visible body of the text. On page 10 (or wherever), type
the field code like this:

XE "A Title XXX"

(Notice the space after the letters XE.) Select that code (but not any
following punctuation or paragraph mark) and press Ctrl+F9 to make it into a
field. It will instantly disappear unless you've turned on the display of
Hidden text. When you update the index, the entry will appear there.

One approach, IIRC:

After you do the final update of your TOC/Index, select the text in the
document & use Format>Font - Hidden (Shift+Control+H) & make sure that
Tools>Options>Print has the checkbox cleared for Update Fields.

I have an idea you're talking about a table of contents (TOC field) rather
than an index (INDEX field). If so, you can do this by inserting a TC field
with the required text. Be sure to check the box for "Table entry fields" in
the Table of Contents Options dialog.
