Heading 1 style overriding TOC 1 style
Hi,
My heading 1 style in my document is very stylized, and not at all good for for a TOC. I have my TOC 1 style set to something basic, but that style keeps getting overridden by the style settings for heading 1. Any idea how in the world I keep this from happening? |

Heading 1 style overriding TOC 1 style
Is there any font formatting which doesn't come from the style in your
Heading 1 paragraphs? Such direct font formatting will display in the table of contents. To fix this problem, make sure that you modify the Heading 1 style directly to include the desired settings (see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html) and then reset font formatting to style, by selecting headings and pressing Ctrl+SpaceBar. Finally, update the TOC to see the difference. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jennifer_Lee" wrote in message ...

Heading 1 style overriding TOC 1 style
Ah, that was it. Thank you. I ended up resetting the Heading 1 style
entirely, and once I did everything was clean. Part of the problem is that I'm dealing wiht a legacy document that's had untold numbers working on it, so there are about 4.8 million styles, all of them totally byzantine in their descriptions. I think I'm just going to nuke 'em all and start fresh. "Stefan Blom" wrote: Is there any font formatting which doesn't come from the style in your Heading 1 paragraphs?

Starting fresh is always recommended in such cases!
