I was able to sort a Table of Contents alphabetically rather than in page
number order once before (might have been an earlier version of Word), but

Does anyone know how to change the document mapping properties.  Right now it
is not picking up the headers I want it to and I do not want to apply the

I am working in Word XP.  How can I control the look of TOC 1, TOC 2, etc.
so that the text is bold, but the page number is regular font?  It seems I

I have a template which I would like to put a place holder to display 1 of 2
values depending what the user has selected as a preference.  I know very
little of the Word Template operations, but is this possible.  If so where
should I look for some help.

I have my standard styles (Word 2000) that i know i will not be able to
delete: Normal Default Paragraph Font Heading 1 Heading 2 Heading . . .etc.
In my template, I want a certain paragraph style for the first paragraph,
and a second style for paragraph 2 (with a first line ...
