TOC issues
Hello
I have created a TOC for my thesis. I have two issues with it. One - One heading has a deliberate strickthrough which I want to appear in the table of contents. However while the strikethrough appears in the heading in the thesis itself the word appears without the strikethrough in the TOC. How can I fix it so it appears how I want? Two - I want my table of figures to have the figure number in bold (Figure 5) but the secondary information which is on the same line (description of figure) in normal font. Can this be done? If so how? Thanks for any help Fly |

See TOC Tips and Tricks by Suzanne Barnhill, MVP: How the TOC Appears
Both of your questions involve using direct formatting in your base text rather than style-based formatting. Tables of Contents and Tables of Figures involve the same field in Word with different switches in the field. Basic formatting of entries is controlled by the relevant TOC styles and the Table of Figures style. For the one where there is strikethrough, apply the strikethrough as direct formatting. For the one where you want the numbering in bold but not the caption text, experiment. This will be a Caption which uses a SEQ field for the numbering. I would try:

Thank you so much for your reply and for trying to help.
However I have already tried direct formatting for the strikethrough. The strikethrough is only for one word of the heading so I have not applied a style as that would render every word in the heading as a strikethrough. The one word as strikethrough via direct formatting in the body of the thesis does not translate to the TOC. That is the issue. The other suggestion to bold one part of the Figure title also does not work. Direct formatting one part of that heading in the body of the thesis does not change the TOF - the whole title remains in bold in the TOF despite the application of bold and then normal in the body of the thesis. Both problems still remain. It appears the TOC and the TOF does not pick up the direct formatting that I have applied to the headings in the body of the document. Why? How do I fix this? Any other suggestions? |

Please prepare a sample document excerpt and post it here. It should have the heading with the strikethrough and at least one figure with a caption that you want different numbering.

Pure speculation, but have you considered using a character style instead of direct formatting? |
