From: Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com on 3 Apr 2010 23:59 And how could I have figured that out? Here are the descriptions from the field options dialog: \o Builds a table of content by using outline levels instead of TC entries \u Builds a table of content by using the applied paragraph outline level Pam Pamelia Caswell wrote: >Hi, Stefan, > >Oh, that's a much faster way to clear up the problem TOC--but I'd still want >to rid my document of those spurious headings and paragraph levels. > >I've often wondered about the difference between \o and \u.

From: Stefan Blom on 4 Apr 2010 07:41 I agree: those descriptions certainly aren't (sufficiently) clear. To learn the difference, one has to do some testing. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com" <u43222(a)uwe> wrote in message news:a60256a8bf261(a)uwe... > And how could I have figured that out?

From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 4 Apr 2010 10:05 Since I also build TOCs based on styles and rarely fiddle with outline levels, I also hadn't figured out this difference, but it's wonderfully useful information to know. When I get a chance, I'll add that to my TOC Tips article because it does provide a way to add a single heading to a TOC. -- Suzanne S.

From: Stefan Blom on 4 Apr 2010 13:23 Note that a (brief) description of the \u switch is included in the article on the Document Map at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/DocumentMap.htm (written by Daiya Mitchell). Of course, it's still a good idea to explain the switch in your TOC Tips article. To tell you the truth, I kind of assumed you had already done that! :-) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.
