New line in TOC

[lallous]

Hello

I am using TOC fields to generate the table of contents.
Something like this:

TOC \o "2-4" \f \h \z \u

Is there is a way to insert a new line in the table of contents before a new
TOC field?

Instead of:

Chapter 1
1.1 xxxx
1.2 yyyyy
1.3 end
Chapter 2
2.1 222222
2.2 3333333
2.3 aaaaaaa
Chapter 3
3.1
3.2
3.3

I want this:
Chapter 1
1.1 xxxx
1.2 yyyyy
1.3 end

Chapter 2
2.1 222222
2.2 3333333
2.3 aaaaaaa

Chapter 3
3.1
3.2
3.3

Notice the new line before chapter 2 and chapter 3.

Please advise.

Format the TOC 1 style to have the desired Spacing Before. You can do
this via the Index and Tables dialog box: On the Table of Contents
tab, click the Modify button. Select the TOC 1 style, click Modify.
Then click Format, Paragraph. On the Indents and Spacing tab, type a
value for Spacing Before (a "line" corresponds to approximately 12 pt,
but you may find 6 or 3 pt to be sufficient). Click OK, OK, Close.
Click Cancel in the Index and Tables dialog box; otherwise, Word will
insert a new TOC (asking you to replace the current one).

New lines would disappear again when updating the table of contents. You can
instead obtain the result by modifying the TOC style* that is associated with
your chapter heading style. Via Paragraph > Indents and Spacing tab, enter
the desired amount of spacing in the Before field.

*By default, TOC 1 is used for Heading 1, TOC 2 is used for Heading 2, etc.
To check which TOC style is used for your chapter heading style: select
Insert > Reference > Index and Tables and click the Options button. Check
which TOC level is listed for the chapter heading style. If the level is 1,
TOC 1 is used, if the level is 2, TOC 2 is used, etc.
