My firm does not have any Word macros. I need to do a Table of Contents with only the first part of the heading in the table of contents, not the whole paragraph. Someone told me to use the StyleSeparator but I can't find it.
How can I create a Table of Contents that just includes the first part of the paragraph when I am using a numbered outline?
If you have Word 2002 or higher the Style separator is your best bet for handling a paragraph formatted with outline numbering. Basically, you are breaking the paragraph in two and leaving the outline level style on the first half (that you DO want in the table of contents) and putting a body text type style on the second half, so the table of contents won't pick up that text.
Thanks. Is there a way to do this with the mouse instead of pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Enter on the keyboard? (I have to take a test on a computer and they won't let me use keystrokes.)
Yes, but you will have to add a button for the Style Separator to a toolbar.
In Word 2002/3 : Right Cick the in the toolbar area. Choose Customize. Choose ALL COMMANDS for the category list on the left. Scroll down on the right to find InsertStyleSeparator Drag InsertStyleSeparator to any toolbar. Choose OK to close the Customize Toolbar dialog box.
In Word 2007 You'll need to add it to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). Click the pull down arrow at the right edge of the QAT (located in the upper right by the office button, or right below the Word ribbon) toolbar Choose More Commands. Once in the dialog box, change the Choose Commands drop down to ALL COMMANDS. Scroll down to Style Separator and click the arrows to add it to the QAT. Choose OK to close out ot the dialog box.
