MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / February 2005TOC Text Filtering...
Is it possible to filter special characters from the TOC, LOF, etc? We have special codes that are embedded into headers, figure captions ,etc to indicate security levels of the item. These are autotext items with embedded fields used to do auto page classification levels. In the text they would show as say "(S)" at the end of a caption or header. What I would like is to somehow exclude these when the TOC is generated, so that it is not shown in the TOC text. Any ideas on how one might accomplish this? By the sounds of it, these special characters have no value to the ordinary reader -- so can you not format them as hidden? In which case they'll be hidden in the TOC also. > Is it possible to filter special characters from the TOC, LOF, etc? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Any ideas on how one might accomplish this? No they need to appear in the body text, that is the problem. They are there for both visual and coding purposes. Is there perhaps some way to hide all these fields prior to the TOC update and make them visible after? Just not sure how to reference them to do such a thing and if it would work. There will be multiple ones all over the document. > By the sounds of it, these special characters have no value to the > ordinary reader -- so can you not format them as hidden?
