Mark portion of paragraph w/heading style

I have Windows XP, and want to create a Table of Contents using both headings provided within Word (heading 1, heading 2, etc.), and also by manually marking certain text at a level (ALT + SHIFT + O). (Example: I have an entire paragraph of text that falls within a heading section, but I want to have only a small phrase appear in the Table of Contents to identify the information, not the entire paragraph.) I read that it should be possible to mark only a portion of the paragraph with a heading style. (I also tried unsuccessfully to use the Section Break-Continuous to define just that part of the paragraph that I want to appear in the TOC.) Thanks!

Jay - I had actually tried all the methods in the thread you sent before receiving your post (Ctrl + Alt + O; hidden paragraph symbol, Body Text), but tried again as I read through the threads, and I continue to have no success. The entire paragraph still appears in the TOC (and yes, I did try all variations of checking/uncheckin Styles, Outline levels, and Table entry fields in the TOC Options dialog box). In one attempt I did get only the phrase I wanted to appear as a separate entry - but it was in addition to the entire paragraph, and had no paragraph numbering. Using the hidden paragraph symbol (and some reformatting of the rest of the paragraph) resulted in a pretty good TOC, but still no paragraph numbering as I'd hoped. Any more suggestions?

Hi Marti

You're already well past the point where my experience ends. :-)

I'll point you to these articles, and hope one of them helps.

If you are using Word XP or 2003, use the style
separator. Need more information on how, let me know.
