MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

When compiling a table of contents that has areas of hidden text, Word 5.00 will give different results depending upon the setting of the “hidden text:” field in Print Options. The page numbers produced for the table may be different if there is enough hidden text to take up at least one page.

The Options “show hidden text:” field does not affect the page numbers produced by the Library Table command because this option is for the screen display and does not affect the printout.

The reason for the difference is the way Word calculates the amount of text for each page.

When the Print Options “hidden text:” field is set to Yes, Word includes the hidden text of the document in these calculations because it is going to be printed.

When the Print Options “hidden text:” field is set to No, Word does not include the hidden text of the document in these calculations because it is not going to be printed.
