Do I have to use TOC 1-9 styles?

[CHM]

Hi all

Office 2003

My Scenario:
I am writing a long report. I have adopted the technique of marking
key recommendations in the meat of the document bu tagging them with
two custom styles. They are "Key Recommendation" and "Key
Recommendation Text". At the end of the document I have a traditional
section called Recommendations. Here I have created aysecond table of
contents and successfully managed to ask it to only include these two
styles. In this way I can automatically get a collation of all my
distributed recomendations.

Up to now all works well.

The problem:
The second TOC is created with the default TOC1-9 styles. I do not
want to edit these styles for the second TOC because it will also
affect my main TOC. I actually want to assign the entries to different
styles of my choosing.

Is there any way around this apparent limitation?
Is there another way to achive what I am trying to achieve?

Any help would be much appeciated.

Regards,

Carl-Hein

You can come up with separate styles and either apply them manually to your
second TOC or use replace to replace the built-in styles with your own in
your second TOC only. You might want to record a macro to do this because it
will need to be redone each time you rebuild your second TOC.

I doubt you need all nine levels for your main TOC (you won't be doing
readers any favours if you are). Why not assign your "Key" styles to levels
8 and 9, then customize TOC8 and TOC9 styles to your own requirements.

Unless you have 9 heading levels (and I hope you don't!), use different TOC
styles for the second TOC. You do this by assigning a different outline
level to the given heading level for the second TOC. One way to do this is
to type, say, 7, 8, and 9 beside Headings 1, 2, and 3 in the Table of
Contents Options dialog. Then modify the TOC 7, TOC 8, and TOC 9 styles as
desired. For more, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm
