MS Word Legal: Table Of Contents, Headings and Titles

As you know, or may not know, most Table of Contents are based off of the Heading Styles. Some TOC"s are a combination of Headings and Titles. But, sometimes the Heading Styles are used in a way whereby they don't qualify as Headings in the sense of what would traditionally appear in a Table of Contents. Let me give you an example: Introduction (Style Name-Title Center) (Style - Heading 1) 1. The basis for this Agreement stems from the negotiations that took place over a four day period during the week of September 21. 2. The Agreement which will define how Company A will merge with Company B will be fully examined within this document. The following will be discussed: (Style - Heading 2) (a) The time frame involved blah blah blah (b) The Management of the company blah blah blah (c) Duplication of the Staff will be examined blah blah blah So in the example above, the Headings are really not useful to the TOC so therefore I would be looking at the Titles of the document. When you open up the TOC Dialog Box and go to Options, you would look for the Title Styles that you want to use within your TOC and place a number 1 or 2 next to the style name. The numbers represent the slot that the TOC level will occupy when run. In this scenario, since you won't be using the Headings, make sure you remove any numbers next to the Heading 1 and Heading 2 under Options so that they will be excluded from the TOC.
