Include Body Text on Same Line As Heading and Have Only Heading Appear in TOC
Hello -
We are using Word 2000 and have generated outline numbered styles that have bold or underlined heading text immediately followed by paragraph text on the same line. In order to only include the heading in the TOC we use the hidden paragraph mark technique. In an effort to help the user, we changed the font color of the hidden paragraph marks to red to indicate they were hidden, etc. This technique worked fine when we applied the color to the hidden paragraph mark inserted after a heading that was not linked to an outline number level. When the outline number level was linked to the heading - the number would also turn red along with the hidden paragraph mark. Is there a way I can prevent the number from turning red and still change the color of the paragraph mark to red? Many thanks in advance. Michele |

I don't think so. Numbering usually reflects the formatting of the paragraph
mark (with the fortunate exception of Hidden formatting). -- Suzanne S.

With the cursor on your first level heading style, go to the Customize
Outline Numbered List dialog via Modify Format Numbering Customize. For each level you're using, click the Font button and make the color setting Automatic. That will guarantee that the numbers don't pick up the hidden paragraph marks' color. (Michele) wrote in message . com... Hello Suzanne~ Ugh - I was afraid you were going to say that!
