Hi-
I am working on a document that I'm trying to create a template for future
consistancey. I've read many articles and I've come along pretty far in the
process, however, I'm kind of stuck. Here is what I'm trying to do...

1.1 (tab) Title (bolded and underlined)(tab) Text (body text, double or
single space accordly).

I've set up my 1.1 thru num lists, and everything LOOKS perfect, until I get
to the point where I need to have my TOC generate, then, it generates my
entire paragraph also.

I have a document where it's set up to look like this, but when the
formatting button is on, it looks like this...

1.1 (tab) Title (bold, underline)(paragraph mark)
:..(thats a semi colon and two spaces (or a period and two spaces) that
start every body text) and then when the formatting button is turned off,
this line moves up to join the 1.1 Title: Body Text.

I hope this makes sense. I appreciate ANY help!

Yes, makes sense. In W2003, add a return (¶) between the heading and the
body text and apply the appropriate styles. Or type the heading and body
text on separate lines. Then place the cursor in the heading paragraph and
apply the style separator ( press Ctrl+Alt+Enter). Word applies the hidden
attribute to the first ¶ it encounters. The next paragraph starts on the
same line, but each retain its paragraph style. The TOC should now properly
find just your headings.

You might ask users to display formatting marks while creating these run-in
headings and text so they can avoid deleting the hidden returns.
