Still hoping for a solution

[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. I am using a numbered outline and
highlightling a choosing a different style (not a header), using TC doesn't
seem to work, nor using the "invisible paragraph" method works. Since I am
using Word 2000 I do not have the "style split" option either.

Example: 1.1 "X" means the letter x.

I want the Table Of Contents to show only
1.1 "X"...........................................

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

Hi John,

Use a two-column table for your heading. Put the 1.1 "X" in the left cell,
formatted to the appropriate heading level, and 'means the letter x' in the
right cell, formatted with another Style that looks how you want it.

Cheers

Have you tried using TC fields with the \l ("l" as in Louise) switch?

When you define "X" as a TC field, specify the hierarchical level with the L
switch, then, format the ToC styles with the same numbering scheme as the
one used in the text.

It worked for me on Word 2002, but it should work on any Word version since
Word 97.

I think this is what you want.
Select the text that you want in the TOC and press Alt
Shift "O" at the same time and 'Mark' it. Do it for all
of them, then insert a reference, indexes and tables,
select the TOC tab and and go to options and
select 'table entry fields' and untick the rest.
