If you need a consolidated ToC and have to have differently styled
documents/sections, this article may be of interest to you. Creating a Table of Contents Spanning Multiple Documents http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...cle.asp?ID=148 -- Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup "Carol NS" wrote in message ... Thank you to you both for your suggestions. Unfortunately I do have to include the finance section in the ToC at the front, so the PDF idea may not be an option. The Finance Headings are based on no style and do have different names, so I'm not sure why they're changing when I insert them into the Report. Also, just to make things interesting, the Finance 'Normal' is Times Roman 9.5, not Times Roman 12, so that also changes to 12 when I insert it! Carol -----Original Message----- This should work if the heading styles have a different name, but if they are based on Normal, then they will be based on Normal in the target document (which may be different). If you change them to be based on "(no style)," you may have more success. This is not to discount Jezebel's reply as suggesting perhaps (a) better approach(es). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA Word MVP FAQ site: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. "Carol NS" wrote in message ... The finance department have asked me to include a 27 page file in the annual report. They have their own heading styles to which they are pathologically attached. When I copy and paste their file into the annual report, their headings convert to the annual report headings. How can I keep their heading styles? (I thought it would be okay because their heading styles have a different name.) Any assistance most gratefully accepted. Carol NS . |

My answer applies to instances when you are trying to
paste text that uses the same style name (but different formatting) between documents, and you want the pasted text to retain its original formatting (not take on the formatting of the same style in the destination document): The Paste options button will allow you to choose 'Keep Source Formatting' instead of the default setting 'Use Destination Styles': After you have pasted the text into the source document, click on the Paste Options button (Word 2002) which will appear immediately below the pasted text, and select 'Use Destination Styles'. Your pasted text will immediately reformat to its original look. Have a look in the Style Name box. Note that the style name for the pasted text will change (eg it will now not be eg Heading Level 1. It will be something like Normal + 16pt, bold for example). This won't matter. It will LOOK like it did in the source document. Note - after you have Closed the document, the Paste Options button will disappear from beneath previously pasted text. The Save operation is ok (ie, you can Save the document, and the Paste Options button will still appear). Hope this helps Cheers Brenda -----Original Message----- The finance department have asked me to include a 27 page file in the annual report.
