Learn Legal: Omitting The Dotted Leader and Page Number from Heading 1 of your TOC.

This scenario is for a Centered Level TOC 1 without the dotted leader and page number. This makes use of what is called Switches within the TOC Field Code. Without getting deep into the use of switches, this short article will give you the info you need if you are asked to omit the dotted leader and page number from the first level of your TOC (Heading 1). In this scenario, the TOC is usually centered but it can be left aligned as well. So, here we go: 1. The first thing to do in order to change the TOC so Level 1 comes in without the Dotted Leader and Page Number is to Modify TOC 1 and make it centered. If the hard copy is not centered then go right to Step 2. 2. Collapse the TOC into a Field Code by doing Shift F9. Shift F9 also toggles the TOC back to its full form. Note: Sometimes you do Shift F9 and only 1 line of the TOC collapses into a Field Code. If this occurs, highlight the entire Field Code then do Shift F9 and the entire TOC becomes 1 field code which is what you want. 3. When you collapse down the TOC into a Field Code, replace the current Field Code Contents with what you see below. Type in EXACTLY what you see below into your current Field Code. { TOC \o “1-2” \n 1-1 } 4. Rerun your TOC and the Dotted Leader and Page Number will be gone.
