Question "Table of content" based on "Normal Style" behavior!!!!


"Table of content" based on "Normal Style" behavior!!!!


I got the "table of content" with a first line of 0.95 because the "normal style" in my document has a first line of 0.95.

But

i don't need the "table of content" to have a first line of 0.95!!!!!!!

how can i do that? i mean, to let the "Normal style" have first line but the "table of content" haven't!!!!!!


i tried to play with TOC1 style, but sounds to affect the "table of content" negatively!!!!!!

regards

Jamal

Hi Jamal,

After creating your TOC, you can modify the TOC styles. This is most easily done by selecting a single line in the TOC (for, say, the first entry) and formatting its paragraph with whatever setup you want (you don't actually need to format the Style directly for this). If you then update the TOC, all headings at that level should update. AFAIK, changes to the TOC1 Style affect the TOC2 etc styles also.

Thank you Paul.

i think that this problem originated since the TOC1 by default is based on the "Normal" style! i had to put the body text in my document in another style from the early beginning to avoid such dependency!

what do u think?

Jamal

Hi Jamal,

All Styles are based on the 'Normal' Style. So you need to be especially careful about modifying it, since any changes you make there can affect every other Style in the document.

For what you're doing, I'd have created a new Style for whatever needed the 0.95 line height, rather than modifying 'Normal'. You could probably do that even now, and return the 'Normal' Style to the default 'single' line height, but whether that would be worthwhile at this stage depends on how much else this might effect.

Thank you Paul. i needed to know this fact so that i can manage and control the content of my document better.

sounds to be very essential concept in Word! i didn't know this fact that "all styles are based on Normal style"
