TOC - Mid Sentence Style Break

[Bobmeister]

A new feature of Word 2003 is the ability to break a sentence so that the
first few words (that belong in the TOC) are Heading 1 and the remainder of
the paragraph is a different style (that does not appear in the TOC). What
is the name of the feature? How do I invoke it? Please where/how is it
documented in help????

It's called a style separator, and it's pretty much undocumented.

The tool is called the Word Style Separator. It is NOT documented in help as
when you are in Word and type "Style separator" it comes up with any but
that. How disappointing!!!!!!

When information to be included in the table of contents must appear on the
same line as text not to be included, use the new Style Separator. This
feature is not available through any toolbar or menu command so you will need
to go through a few steps to make this command accessible.

From the View menu, choose Toolbars, and Customize. Select the Commands tab.
From the Categories list, select All Commands. From the Commands section,
locate and select InsertStyleSeparator. Drag the button to an existing
toolbar and release the mouse, and then close the Customize dialog box. You
can also use the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl + Alt + Enter, to insert the Style
Separator.

Once added, type text and format it with a heading style to include it in
the table of contents. Click the Style Separator button and type text after
the heading. Text appearing after the style separator symbol is not included
in the table of contents (unless another heading style is applied).

From what we heard, it was thought obsolete because you now can apply
"Heading 1" to just part of a paragraph anyway?
(... just by selecting some words and applying the style)

This new (2002) feature, linked styles, create hosts of other problems
though.

My understanding (perhaps faulty, but it's hard to tell because there's so
little documentation of this feature) is that applying a style to part of a
paragraph causes Word to insert a style separator.

I have found no reference to the style separator except in these KB
articles:

"How to create a table of contents by marking text in Word 2002 and Word
2003" (KB285059)
"How to use outline levels to create a table of contents (TOC) in Word 2003
and in Word 2002" (KB285050)
"WD2002: Heading Numbers Do Not Appear in Table of Contents" (KB300428)
"Description of the Word 2003 post-Service Pack 2 hotfix package: May 8,
2006" (KB919024)

separator.

No, the style separator and linked styles are two features developed
completely independently, both in Word 2002, to solve the same problem.

Linked styles won, it seems, though they should not have.

I have found no reference to the style separator except in these
KB articles:

"How to create a table of contents by marking text in Word 2002 and Word
2003" (KB285059)
"How to use outline levels to create a table of contents (TOC) in Word
2003
and in Word 2002" (KB285050)

Thank you for the reading list!
