Line breaks in TOC
How can I properly insert line breaks between manually
numbered chapters in my LOT (list of tables)? Thanks to help from this group, I am successfully numbering tables in Word 2003 / Win XP Pro by manually inserting, at the beginning of each chapter the following two sequence fields: { SEQ Chapter \h } { SEQ Table \h \r 0 } and then each table gets a little caption (on one line) like: Table { SEQ Chapter \c \* MERGEFORMAT }- { SEQ Table \* ALPHABETIC }: my favorite table If I want to have additional details that don't appear in the LOT, then I insert a style separator followed by any further text as discussed in: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...80228893dcddf/ And life is good with my LOT looking like: { TOC \h \z \c "Table" } Only. Only as the number of tables has grown, currently at 35 tables in 6 chapters, I find that looking at the LOT would be far nicer if there was a line break interspersed between, say, chapters. And I found that I could manually do this by going to the displayed LOT, placing the cursor, and hitting Enter at the desired locations. Trouble is, this will be obliterated next time I update the entire table (and even if it wasn't, how should the table know where I had intended my line breaks?). So my question is whether there is a proper way to have line breaks between my manually numbered chapters in the LOT? Thanks for any tips, Csaba Gabor from Vienna |

Line breaks in TOC
Instead of manually adding line breaks, specify some Spacing Before in the
Table of Figures paragraph style (used for the entries in a table of figures or list of tables). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Csaba Gabor" wrote in message ...

So my question is whether there is a proper way to have line breaks between my manually numbered chapters in the LOT? Thanks for any tips, Csaba Gabor from Vienna- The LOT is one field, like the TOC. You cannot have more than one style (unlike the TOC), so if you add line spacing as Stefan suggests it will add to each line, not "clustered" per chapter. The only workaround I see is to create a LOT for each chapter where the captions have their own style. But that has so many disadvantages that I would accept the LOT as it is now. Good point. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP |
