Removing page numbers from some TOC levels

[Frank Nelson]

We are working with some agreements and want our table of
contents to have some section headings (ie. TOC1)in the
TOC to appear w/o numbers while having them appear with
the other levels (TOC2-4). Any suggestions? We are using
Heading styles and the Insert | Index tables command.

Hi Frank,

Use the \n switch to remove the numbering associated with levels. You can
only use it with successive heading levels.

i.e. {TOC \o "1-5" \n "1-1"} will produce a five-level table without
numbering the first level, whereas {TOC \o "1-5" \n "2-3"}will not number
levels 2 and 3.

HTH
Cheers!

And although you can use it only with successive heading levels, you can
cheat. I've done this when I wanted numbering with, say, TOC 2 but not TOC 1
or TOC 3. The trick is to swap TOC 2 and TOC 3: associate Heading 2 with TOC
3 and Heading 3 with TOC 2 (modifying the format of TOC 2 and TOC 3
accordingly), then use \n 1-2. (Note that quotes around the numbers are not
necessary).
