TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
shana dozier wonders: <<Is there some way once you generate a TOC to: 1.
remove the shading>>
You can edit the properties of each style in the TOC the same way you edit
the properties of other styles: via the Format-->Style menu (better, because
the changes are permanent until you update the style), or manually (which
will be lost when you regenerate the TOC).
<<Cut and paste the generated TOC into another file and have it print
without gernerating the 'error cannot find bookmark' message???>>
Assuming you want to work with the autogenerated TOC and won't be changing
it, you can simply select the TOC and press Control-Shift-F9; that converts
the entries from fields (which update) to normal text (which don't). Of
course, if you expect page numbers to change, you might be better off
working with "reference document" fields. This has been discussed several
times on techwr-l (check the archives) and should also be discussed in
Word's online help.
