= SUMMARY =

When Word constructs a table of contents, it does not carry over the character formatting of the table of contents entries along with the text. To format a table of contents entry, create a style sheet entry for each level of the table.

To create a style sheet entry in versions 3.x, 4.00, or 5.00, do the following:

  Choose Gallery Insert.   In the “key code:” field, type a two-character code.   In the “usage:” field, select Paragraph.   In the “variant:” field, press F1 and select “Table Level #”, where # is the level of the table of contents that you want to format.   Press ENTER.   Choose Format Character and select the type of character formatting desired. When executing the Library Table command, be sure that the “use style sheet:” field is set to Yes. 

To create a style sheet entry in version 5.50, do the following:

  Choose Format Define Styles. </li>  Choose Insert New Style. </li>  In the “Key Code:” field, enter a two-character code. </li>  In the “Style Type:” field, select Paragraph. </li>  In the “Style I.D.:” field, select “Table #”, where “#” is the level of the table of contents that you want to format. </li>  Press ENTER or select < OK >. </li>  Choose Format Character and select the type of character formatting desired. When choosing Insert Table of Contents, be sure that “Use Style Sheet” is activated in the “Indent Each Level” box. </li></ol>
