Default Table of Contents format

I am bound by a prescribed format in one of the documents we create. If it was up to me, I would use...

Attachment 3—Glossary
(as a heading 1), but the required format is...

Attachment 3

Glossary

In order for this to show up correctly in the TOC, I use the first format shown above, but right after Attachment 3 I use a line break, then after the em dash another line break.

In the end it looks like...

Attachment 3
Glossary

All of this I make heading 1 and it shows up in the TOC just fine. I also make the em dash white font so it doesn't actually show in the doc.



Again, bound by a certain format, can anybody think of a more reasonable way to do this?

Which piece of text should be in the table of contents? "Attachment 3" or "Glossary"? Or both?

Hi Stefan,

Both "Attachment 3" and "Glossary" will be in the TOC with the em dash in-between.

In the body of the doc the "Attachments 3" and "Glossary" are on separate lines.

It seems to me that your workaround is a reasonable way to do this.

Other methods would involve TC fields, but that wouldn't be more convenient.
