MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / February 2008Table of Contents Question
I'm trying to generate a TOC with 2 levels (from Heading Styles), however I don't want page numbers appearing for level 1. Right now the Code looks like this { TOC \o "1-2" \h\z\u } and it is generating two levels with page numbers for each level. I tried to look this up in Word's Help area and it says to use \n if you don't want page numbers, however, when using this it takes out page numbers entirely. I want page numbers for level 2 but not for level 1. Can anyone tell me how to specify that? Also, I've tried to find a list on websites and in the Word help feature that delineates switches that are TOC specific and that gives examples of what the switch does and examples of the exact use of them - haven't had much luck there. Any tips pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Modify the TOC 1 Style so that the tab stop for the page number is off the page and so that it does not have a leader.  SignatureHope this helps.

Did not expect this response, was expecting a switch to turn off level 1 page numbering. I'm going to try Stefan Blom's suggestion, however, this little trick is worthy of jotting down for future reference.

You would need Doug's "trick" if you had a complex TOC that would require that you hide the page numbers for levels 1, 2 and 4 in a 5-level TOC. In such cases, you can use the \n switch for levels 1 and 2, but not for 4 because only one \n switch is allowed and it must be for consecutive levels. So, you would set your TOC with the \n switch for levels 1 and 2, and use Doug's idea for level 4. Good point, but note that you can re-assign TOC levels and then still make use of the \n switch; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm.

Another good trick to add to the bag! |
