APA Headings

[crg]

I would like to find or create a style document for an APA formatted document
that work with a Table of Contents.

Levels 3-5 of APA have the heading inline with the paragraph text. For
example

This is the heading. Followed by the paragraph text that goes on and on and
on etc.

It seems that the heading styles only allow for paragraph headings - that is
they automatically insert a new paragraph after the heading - so if I
highlight "This is the heading." above and apply the heading style it
automatically sticks in a new paragraph which doesn't match APA.

Alternatively, if I don't using the heading styles, then I can't
automatically create a table of contents for my document.

Any ideas about how to solve this problem?

Thanks!
Charles

You could use a TC field. For more info see
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HP051861971033.aspx

As TC fields are normally hidden, you will have to type the first sentence
of your paragraph twice: once as part of your TC and once as part of your
paragraph.

So for your example (assuming field codes are displayed) you would get

{ TC "This is the heading" \l 3 }This is the heading. Followed by the
paragraph text that goes on and on and on etc.

To add all TC fields to your TOC, you will have to add the \f switch to your
TOC field code. For a full explaination, see

If what they want is run-in headings, in particular ones that should be
included in a TOC, use the style separator. Type your heading and the
following text, each in its own paragraph and style. Place the cursor in the
first, or heading, paragraph, and press Alt+Ctrl+Enter. Word will "hide"
the first paragraph it encounters.

Be sure that the line spacing and space after in the two paragraphs are the
same (such as both single spaced and both 6 pts space after). --If, for
example, the heading style's space after is greater that the text style's,
that space will show up after the paragraph in W2003 and after the first line
of the joined paragraph in W2007.

If you use the style separator often --but not often enough to remember the
keyboard shortcut, you can add the command to the toolbar or , in W2007/10
the QAT.

You can also manually hide the paragraph mark (font > effects > hidden), but
that's more steps.
