= SUMMARY =

On Page 576, the “Using Microsoft Word” for version 5.00 manual lists semicolons, paragraph marks, and division marks as characters that can end a table of contents entry. Note that a page break can also end a table of contents entry.

The “Using Microsoft Word” for version 5.50 manual, page 600, omits a page break as a character that can end a table of contents entry.

= MORE INFORMATION =

If a table of contents entry is split between two pages, only the information in the first page will be added to the table of contents. The following are three workarounds for this situation:


 * 1) Repaginate the document and move the offending page break so that the table of contents entry is not split between page or division breaks.
 * 2) If the table of contents entry cannot be moved within the document and you do not have hidden text that you want to print out, copy the table of contents to a position directly above itself. Then add the table codes (.c.) and format the whole entry as hidden text.
 * 3) If the table of contents entry cannot be moved within the document and you have hidden text that you want to print out occasionally, follow the steps for Option 2 above when it is time to compile the table of contents. After the table is created and it is time to print, delete the hidden-text table entry. If you need to compile the table and print multiple times, the hidden-text table of contents entry can be inserted into a glossary for easier insertion and deletion.
