I have 53 chapter subheadings in my novel and I'd like to know if there is a
way to assign them one special style. The problem is that the subheadings consist of two different styles, themselves. i.e.: Chapter Fifteen Los Angeles 10:30 p.m. The first subheading is the name of a city (they differ). Then the second subheading is a time stamp (they also differ). I want to italicize the name of the city Then make the time stamp regular type. Also I need to have a space of 48 before the city and a space of 32 under the time, with a regular double space between them. Is it possible to define a single style to do this? If not, how would you handle this, Suzanne? |

If you want the city and time to be in a TOC on the same line, I'd use a
single style with 48 pts Space Before and 32 pts space after and apply the italics as direct formatting, keeping in mind that Word will interpret the line break as a single space unless you include the \x switch in the TOC field). If you want the city and time on separate lines in the TOC, or there is no TOC, I'd use separate styles for the two paragraphs, giving the first one 48 pts before and the second one 32 pts after. In either case, I would make the chapter number a separate style and not even try to include it in the TOC; instead I would apply numbering to the TOC style. -- Suzanne S.
