What exactly do you want, and what do you now have? I thought from your description ( Chapter Number over Chapter Name, right justified.) was what you wanted, with a single entry containing both the chapter number and the chapter title in the Table of Contents. The screen capture is the end result example.
Update the entire table, not just the page numbers. You can do that by putting the selection in the Table of Contents and then press F9 and select to If you change the text in the body of the document, you will of course need to update the table of contents so that it will show the result of that change. It was not intended to be part of the instructions. The "On the Insert tab." text is text that was on my screen when I used a screen capture program to create an image of the result of applying the formatting that I had mentioned. This is why I asked for a Thorough answer at the beginning. Solutions should be step by step, clear, concise and provides an end result example. The Coding is supposed to provide a more flexible solution, yet here proves again that Word is limited in its ability. Which leads me to lastly, I see that you provide no end result example, so that I can see that you method is successful.Īgain, this shows that Word is still not flexible enough, nor thorough enough to provide easy and practical solutions. With an alpha system, not numerical, and I did exactly as you showed. After trying out this dialog, it affected my entire book, inserting Chapter # to my Chapter Names, which isn't what I wanted at all, and "numbered" the TOC Second, you don't explain if my current TOC is selected, or this is supposed to develop a new one. I have to type in the search field just to pull up your multilevel dialog box. I'm sorry but your directions and explanation don't follow through to the end result.įirst, under Insert Tab, What Galleries? where? There's no Galleries button. The conclusion that it shouldn't be this hard to get it this way in the first place. The Field coding to include my two Heading Styles as shown above.
I was hoping that I could edit the Field code in the TOC to get my desired result, but I haven't found the right coding to do so. Page #Ĭhapter #.Page #Ĭhapter Name.Page # (same as Ch#) My Finally result, I want it to look like this:Ĭhapter #, Chapter Name. Chapter Number over Chapter Name, right justified. This was partly so I could format the Header like I wanted. I will note that I purposely split the "Chapter Number" and the "Chapter Name" on different Heading Styles. Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - MVP Office Apps & Services (Word) It's time to replace ‘Diversity, Equity & Inclusion’ with ‘Excellence, Opportunity & Civility’ - V Ramaswamy If that is not the way you want it, provide us with more details of what you want. The word Chapter in the chapter heading is part of the definition of the numbering as shown below: It could however had been aligned Left or Right if desired. The Heading 1 style to be aligned that way. In the body of the document, the chapter heading was center aligned by defining
Note that there is a new line character (Shift+Enter between the tab spaceĪfter the Chapter number and the start of the Chapter Title and, you will have to put up with the new line character appearing in the header, but of course, they do not print. Where the chapter heading text outlined in red is all in the Heading 1 style and the text in green is displayed by the use of a StyleRef field that takes Heading 1 as its argument.
If the following is something like what you want I've already sectioned each chapter, but after looking through the "Add Field" content, I don't see anything obvious that pertains to a Section Lastly, I want each "Chapter Name" Heading Style, to be in the top right of my header for each chapter section. Side question, What the heck does the "Add Text" in the TOC Ribbon actually supposed to do (other than ruin my TOC Format)? The formatting is ridicules as I can't even turn off the page numbersįor any particular "Heading" I include in the list of the TOC. (page number) next line: "Chapter Name".(same page number as above). Instead I get at best a forced "Chapter Number". The Word formatting just doesn't seem to allow for this. In the Table of Contents, I want each line to have "Chapter Number", "Chapter Name". The Chapter number I put on the a separate Heading Style called "Chapter Number",Īnd the chapter name on a Heading style as "Chapter Name". The Chapter Number is on the first line, with the name of the chapter below. I have a novel that has a formatted title on two line, and not on the same line. The TOC Format section is terrible in regards to "Making just how I want it" as Word proclaims.
