[QUOTE="Harley-Davidson, post: 5441480"] (Product: MS Office 2007, Word Hello. I am having some trouble with creating TOCs in Word. In 2003, you could simply highlight text, and then apply the TOC level you wanted, and Word would do it. Now, in 2007, when you apply a TOC level (add text) to a highlighted word or sentence, Word 2007 changes the formatting of the word. This is extremely annoying. Another part of that is when the word is part of a table, Word 2007 changes the SIZE of the cell as well, and nothing I can do will get it back down to the same size as all of the other cells. So my question is: How do I stop Word 2007 from changing the formatting of the sentence I choose to appear in the TOC? I've tried changing and modifying lots of options and settings in the TOC dialog boxes, but to no avail. What I really want to be able to do is just leave the formatting and style alone, I don't want it to change. The particular document that I am working with is a 15 page vocabulary list. I want to have Word 2007 put "nouns" and "verbs" in the TOC, WITHOUT changing the style in the document. The text that I wish to appear in the TOC has the same formatting as the rest of the doc. And the worst part is, when I go to the "home" tab, and change the style of the word I selected to be part of the TOC back to what it was before Word changed it, it no longer appears in the TOC. I do not want my TOC to be defined based on the styles I use in my document. I want to be able to select any word or sentence and add it as text in a TOC, even if that word is a normal word in a paragraph. Call me strange, but this is what I need for my document uses. Thank you very much for any help you can give, HD [/QUOTE]
