When you use the LIBRARY TABLE command in Word 4.0 to produce a table of contents, the table of contents so produced contains hard page breaks that were contained within the body of the document. Anyone know of a trick to make Word not do so? It's a nuisance removing the extra page breaks from the Table of Contents. Clayton E. Cramer

I assume you're using outline mode to make the headings to be included in the TOC. If the hard page breaks are part of the same paragraphs as the outline headings, they get included. Put the page breaks in their own paragraph, or attach them to the last paragraph before the new heading, and they won't be included. -- -- rms UUCP: {ihnp4,harvard,husc6,linus,ima,bbn,m2c}!spdcc!gubba!rms Internet: rms@gubba.spdcc.com Compuserve: 71360,1067 BIX: richsands

In addition to the Library Table bug, I have also found an annoying bug with the Library Index command. In my document I have several divisions. The first division is the introduction which uses small Roman numeral page numbering (i, ii, iii, ...). The next division uses Arabic numbering (1, 2, 3, 4, ...) The last division is the appendices and uses Alphabetic numbering (a, b, c,..) If I have an index entry on page ii of the first division, and an index entry for the same item on page 2 of the second division, only the ii page number appears in the generated index. It seems that Word stores page numbers as integers for each division but simply formats them differently. Then when it is compiling the index it finds that there are two entries on page "2" so it removes the duplicate entry. Is there any way to get around this? Or do I have to make an index for each division and then merge them by hand (shudder)? Michael J. Arena Innovative Systems Techniques UUCP: ...harvad!axiom!insyte!m2

I suggest creating a gallery entry (e.g. P0) for a paragraph with the characteristic of "Line Spacing 0" This lets you put the page break into its own paragraph without eating up additional lines on the page.
