Hello All.

After long posts and lots of experiments I was helped along by you all last week with my survey report format questions and fundamentally everything is good!

However, another small issue has arisen, text colours in tables of contents.

I have a style format for each if four different kinds of defect, this means that they all receive a unique number in the body of the report. I then (thanks to help here) list those headings as a table of contents at the beginning of the report in the summary, this preserves the unique numbers.



AT the moment, every time I change the font colour for one of the 5 tables of contents it affects all of the others, mostly consistently though somewhat erratically in the case of the main table of contents.

Is there a way to disassociated font colours between tables?

Many thanks once again.

All the best, Barney

Briefly, no. If you apply direct formatting (or character style) formatting to your different headings, that should be carried into the TOC. It cannot be a part of the heading style.

Getting the TOC to pick up the colour, though, requires that you disable the hyperlink ability.
