It's been over 20 years since I've used MS Word, but I've been pressed into duty writing a document for a family member. There are a few things I've forgotten how to do. I'm a bit stuck and I'm requesting some help. I'm trying to build a TOC in MS Word, but I'm having problems restricting my TOC to only keywords; it instead includes the text in the body of my document.
Here's an example of a document that I'm composing:
ARTICLE 1 - DEFINITIONS
1.1 Alpha. "Alpha" shall mean blah blah blah.
1.2 Bravo. “Bravo” shall mean blah blah blah.
1.3 Charlie. "Charlie" shall mean blah blah blah.
I would like my TOC to appear like this:
ARTICLE 1 - DEFINITIONS............................... Page 1
1.1 Alpha....................................................... Page 1
1.2 Bravo....................................................... Page 1
1.3 Charlie..................................................... Page 1
But I end up with a TOC like this:
ARTICLE 1 - DEFINITIONS.............................................. Page 1
1.1 Alpha. "Alpha" shall mean blah blah blah......... Page 1
1.2 Bravo. “Bravo” shall mean blah blah blah......... Page 1
1.3 Charlie. "Charlie" shall mean blah blah blah.... Page 1
I don't want the verbiage listed after each keyword. I simply want the section number, followed by the keyword, followed by the page #.
Hopefully, there's a simple way of doing this. I've looked through the web and could not find a solution, probably because I couldn't adequately describe my issue in a search box.
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
