Applying different styles within one sentence.

[John X. Perez]

I am trying to create a legal document and table of contents in which the
heading and text are on the same line.

Ex: 1.1 "X" means the letter x.

I want the TOC to show only
1.1 "X"...........................................

and not
1.1 "X" means the letter x......................


I tried highlighting "means the letter x" and just choosing a different
style (Normal in this case). But, word doesn't accept it????

Thanks Suzanne, I tried this but it does not work. It works for a heading
with text. However, it does not work for a head with text that is part of
an outline? Any other suggestions (I am using Word 2000).

Can you not even do it with a TC field?

 

[John X. Perez]

I tried but it does not work. It works like a charm if you have:

heading1 plus this text. You get
TOC: heading1.......

BUT it doesn't work at all if you have
1.1 heading1 plus this text. You get
TOC: 1.1 heading 1 plus this text.............
TOC: heading 1.........

yes, twice! Any other suggestions. I'm totally not able to use the outline
feature because of this and it is driving me crazy since legal docs. often
span dozens of pages and need revisions, inserts, resorts, etc. Having to
hard code the new numbers after every insert is a waste of time. Help?????!

All I can suggest is that you upgrade to Word 2002 or 2003, in which you can
use style separators, which I believe *do* preserve the numbering.

I am a WP user, struggling with MSWord. In similar situations, I use the
hard return (using the first 'line' for the TofC), then add the second part
of the line, then "format" the hard return as "hidden" (so it appears as one
line)- found this on one of the MS MVP sites.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

This works great for unnumbered paragraphs, but John has a numbered
paragraph, unfortunately.

 

[John X. Perez]

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, Suzanne is correct. I tried this on my
numbered outline and it just doesn't work.

I am at a loss.....
