Text (not headings) that needs to appear in TOC
How do you identify text that needs to be generated to the
Table of Contents, but it's not a heading? Years ago there was a "hidden text" code that you could place before text that needed to be generated to the TOC. Does anyone know how to do this? |

Text (not headings) that needs to appear in TOC
Linda,
You're probably referring to a TC field; you select any text you want included in the table of contents and mark it and generate a TOC including only "Table entry fields": 1. To mark a table of contents entry with a TC field, select the text that you want to appear in the table of contents and then press ALT+SHIFT+O a. This displays the Mark Table of Contents Entry dialog box b. The Mark Table of Contents Entry dialog box allows you to select the outline level that each TOC entry should have; this level corresponds to the TOC style that the entry will be displayed with in the table of contents 2. In the Entry box, which displays the selected text for a table of contents entry, you can edit the table of contents entry; only the table of contents entry, and not the text in the document, is affected 3. In the Table Identifier pulldown list, select a letter; adds the table of contents entry to the group you click; this setting is relevant only if your document contains more than one contents list; if your document contains only one table of contents, accept C, which is the default setting 4. In the Level box, select the level and click Mark; for example, if you click 1 in the Level box, Word creates a level-1 table of contents entry 5. To mark additional entries, select the text, select the Table Identifier and the Level, click in the Entry box, click Mark; when you have finished adding entries, click Close 6. Click where you want to insert the table of contents 7. On the Insert menu, click Index and Tables (Reference etc. in more recent versions of Word) 8. Click the Table of Contents tab 9. Click the Options button 10. In the Table of Contents Options box, select the Table entry fields check box *and* clear the Styles check box 11. Click OK If the TOC doesn't display correctly, display the field codes for the TOC (ALT + F9 to reveal all field codes in the active document) and make sure the \f switch with the table identifier letter in lowercase has been included in the field Since the code in the TC field is just instructions for Word, the TC field is formatted as hidden text - it is not displayed on the screen unless you view hidden text, and it does not print; to view hidden text, click Show/Hide button on the Standard toolbar You can also use outline level paragraph formatting to assign a level to a TOC (see Help) Jon ------------ "Linda" wrote in message ...
