I want to create a table of contents with section number for each entry, just the way my headings look in the document, using Legal numbering. I'm creating the TOC with 'Insert - Table of Contents - Use heading paragraphs'. This might sound like a trivial task, but so far I have found no way of doing it. The manual doesn't mention anything about this, or maybe I just didn't look the right places? (TOC with chapter page numbers is not what I want.) I guess one could always write a macro to do what I want, but... it *would* seem a little strange if there were no easier way of doing it? 0yvind leirvaag@idt.unit.no

I'm creating the TOC with 'Insert - Table of Contents - >Use heading paragraphs'. Yes, this is the correct way to build the TOC. Make sure you are using the correct paragraph styles (heading 1, heading 2, heading 3, ...) as these are the heading paragraphs the Insert TOC command uses. Also I use the Auto No. legal field code {autonumlgl } so when I insert a new section it will renumber all the section headings for me. >This might sound like a trivial task, but so far I have found no >way of doing it.

It sounds like you are just reformating the font type but still using the paragraph style "normal" instead of "heading X". If you use the Outline mode you will be able to tell, headings will have a hollow plus symbol to the left and all other paragraphs (non "heading X") will have a hollow square symbol. >I guess one could always write a macro to do what I want, but... it >*would* seem a little strange if there were no easier way of doing it? No need WfW does this automatically, if you need any more help, send me some email.

The workaround we use is to use the Utilities - Renumber... command to number the heading styles. This numbering *is* then included in the TOC. On the downside is the need to renumber the document manually (by running the utility again) whenever the order of the sections has been change by editing. - Geoff Coupe
