Style Separators

[ll]

If you already have a document and you want to add style
separators so you can generate a table of contents, how
can you add the style separator exactly in a place you
want it to go, instead of it being placed at the very end
of the paragraph where it automatically jumps to.

At another law firm, the style separator is on the
toolbar and when you place your cursor directly after the
caption in your paragraph (which particular caption is
the only thing you want in your table of contents) that
is where it appears. The style separator does not jump
to the end of the paragraph. Is that a macro or
something?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

You can add a toolbar button for the Style Separator through Tools |
Customize, but one is inserted automatically when you "paint" a style onto
part of a paragraph. Select the portion of the paragraph you want to include
in the TOC (it must be the beginning of the paragraph) and apply the heading
style. You'll see that the heading style will be shown in the Styles
dropdown when you click in that portion and the body text style when you
click in the rest of the paragraph.

This technique does not seem to work on heading styles
that have automatic numbering.

You can record your own macro and add it to your toolbar.
Or you can type a return where you want the Style
Separator to be (like before the period), change the
style of your text paragraph to Body Text or something
similar, then cursor back to the end of the heading and
insert a Style Separator Code. It will cause the text
paragraph to jump back up.
