Question Heading – Table of content format,

Heading – Table of content format,
Dears,
Attached two images that show the most frequent way the heading of chapter appears and the format of the table of contend.
In other words,
  • the heading of the chapter lies in three lines but they are in the same line in the table of content
  • heading 1 is chapter 1 and heading 2 is 1.1 , how to have this format in words?
I’ve asked this question before, but I didn’t a convenient approach?
How we can have this heading – table of content format?
thank you
regards
Jamal

Hi Jamal,

To get an effect like that, your 'Spatial Interaction Process' heading would need to use the Heading 1 Style. That means having the number attached to that Heading and manually numbering your Chapters (or at least inserting cross-references to the heading number for the first heading in the chapter). In such cases, you can't entirely hide the heading's number, but you can make it unobtrusive by making the point Size 1pt.

Question

thank you for the answer Paul,

actually, this might introduce a solution for the first part of the question, but how to have the headings that spread in 2 lines to be in one line in the table of content?

please, see the attached image.

regards

Jamal

Hi Jamal,

Provided those two lines are part of the same paragraph, they will appear on the same line in the Table of Contents. This is so even if there is a manual line break (via Ctrl-Shift-Enter) separating the lines in the body of the document.

Hi Jamal,

It seems you have both the Chapter and the Heading as part of the same paragraph, in the Heading 1 Style. That is not what we discussed before, which related to having 'Spacial Interaction Processes:' and 'An Overview' in the TOC. If you had done as I suggested, 'Chapter 1' would not have appeared in the TOC.

If you want the Chapter number to appear in the TOC, try this instead:
1. With the Heading 1 Style selected (eg the 'Spacial Interaction Processes' paragraph) Click on the 'Multi-Level list' button, choose 'Define New Multi-Level list'.
2. Where it says 'enter formatting for this number', type 'Chapter ' in fron of the '1'.
3. Set the 'text indent' to 0.
4. Click on 'Font' and remove all attributes (especially the 1pt size used earlier).
5. Click on 'More' and set the 'follow number with' to 'nothing'.
6. Click OK. The numbering should now update in the document, with the word 'Chapter' before the number.
7. After the Chapter #, insert ' -' and format these characters in a 1pt font. This is so that you'll have a ' - ' after the Chapter # in the TOC), then insert a manual line break before the 'Spacial Interaction Processes' text.
8. Update the TOC

See attached file.
