Unwanted text in TOC
in [Document Management]
|
From: DeanV on 31 Mar 2010 17:08 For Word 2003, I'm picking up unwanted text in the TOC from 1) Cover page with unique page setup 2) text within the document. I've checked the unwanted text to ensure they are formatted with 'body text' and don't see any paragraph characters beside them. Thanks.
From: Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com on 31 Mar 2010 18:07 The unwanted TOC paragraphs may have the wrong paragraph outline level applied. This sometimes happens if the the document map has been opened. Fix that in the paragraph dialog (I'm using W2007 and don't remember the W2003 steps anymore). Then resolve not to use the document map (at least until its successor, the navigation pane come out in W2010).

From: Derflederdog on 1 Apr 2010 13:45 Chances are you have text in your document that is (incorrectly) of a style that Word includes in TOCs. In other words, the stuff that is in the TOC from your cover page is probably a Heading 1/2/3/etc. style. Change the style of the text that is erroneously in your TOC and regenerate your TOC and your problem will likely go away.

From: Stefan Blom on 1 Apr 2010 14:17 If your assumption is correct, deleting the \u switch from the TOC field code would suffice (the switch instructs Word to include paragraphs that have outline levels 1--9 applied as direct formatting).

From: Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com on 3 Apr 2010 23:47 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. I've long added the paragraph level to style definitions to so the style would get picked up by the TOC, and I've deleted the \u with no effect. Now I know that's because \u applies to _direct formatting_.
