Lead-in Emphasis in Table of Contents & Usable As a Cross Referren

K

KB 285059 shows a great way to have leading, emphasized text in a paragraph
appear as a heading in a table of contents. Usually used as a lower-level
heading, it blends well with furnished (full paragraph) headings used at
higher levels in a table of contents. However, it seems - to me anyway -
that such lower-level headings cannot be made to appear in the "Headings"
sub-window when you try to insert a cross reference to them. Is there a way
to have lead-in emphasis text appear in a table of contents with other
headings and also be capable of being cross referenced?

It appears that, after using the method of KB 285059, I can select the same
lead-in emphasized text used for the heading, create a bookmark on it, and
cross reference the bookmark, where, if I cross reference the bookmark
_text_, I can reformat the result to match the text surrounding the cross
reference. Updating the table of contents still seems to work fine.

Is this the best way?

Yes, the first part (TOC fields) is also in the Word 2003 Help. I do not use
this approach because long headings cause a long field insertion that
distorts the displayed text relative to the printed text and causes me
problems thereby. The second part (Hidden Paragraph Mark) is included in the
KB 285059 article now. I do not use it as I always show my non-printing
characters to avoid problems in the composition of complex documents, and
this will give a distortion similar to that just mentioned. The third part
(Style Separator) is essentially the technique I used, and is also in the KB
285059 article. For me the headings so constructed do not show up in the
headings dialog list when you go to construct a cross reference to such a
heading, which was my problem. Is my solution the best way to go? Thanks.
