Table Of Contents With Specific Request Revisited

Scenario: "Heading 2" of a legal document. Numbering Aspect Section 1.01 (Times New Roman 12 regular) and the Textual Aspect of Heading 2 "The Contract" Italicized. Heading 2 also shares the paragraph with body text and therefore makes use of the Style Separator. Example: Section 1.01 (Tab) The Contract.(Style Separator). Remainder of Paragraph Remainder of Paragraph Remainder of Paragraph Remainder of Paragraph. When the TOC is generated, the Italicized text built into the Textual Aspect of the Heading 2 style is NOT replicated in the TOC. Nevertheless, the attorney wants the TOC to reflect the same look as within the text of the document. Meaning, the Textual Aspect of the TOC should be Italicized as well. 1. If we modify style TOC 2 within the "completed" TOC and select Italics, then you would affect the entire line "Section 1.01. The Contract" instead of just "The Contract". 2. To accommodate, create a Character Style that Italicizes and apply it directly to the Textual Aspect of each individual Heading 2 entry instead of building Italics into the Heading 2 Style itself. 3. When the TOC is generated, the Character Style that was applied will come into the TOC as requested. 4. Some might say, why can't I just Italicize those portions that need Italics after I run the TOC directly on the TOC text? 5. Answer: If you should apply Italics directly to certain portions of the completed TOC then each time you re-run the TOC, you will have to re-do the direct formatting italics each time. 6. Summary: A. If you build attributes such as Bold, Italics and Underscore into the Heading Styles then it will not be carried over to the TOC. This method is the norm. B. But, if you apply those same attributes directly to the text or by use of a Character Style, it will be carried over to the TOC. For special requests such as discussed, you now know how to properly accommodate. Top-Tier Style Training www.advanceto.com
