master doc/styles/headings/TOC

L

LU

I'm creating a master document with many sub documents.
Sub documents are sent to me from all over with different formatting.
I'm going into each document and formatting the text I want to show up on
the TOC.
Q1)How can I apply the heading style to just a part of the text on the line.
It seems to only let me apply to the how line, not part of the line. example
Line 1 "This is my title 1.2"
When I try to apply the style to just 1.2 , it doesn't work.
Q2)I want my TOC to show
Heading1
Heading2
Where heading 2 is indented, but it doesn't work that way. It seems to line
them up one right after the other.

Sorry, I don't have an answer because I don't use Master Documents. However,
you may need the reason I don't more than you need an answer. "Master
Document" is a term of art in Word referring to a "feature" that not only
doesn't work but also destroys documents. The consensus (with the limited
exception of Steve Hudson) among those offering advice on these newsgroups
is that using the Master Document feature is a good way to destroy your
document. It can destroy parts of your document that you are not even
working on! I think John McGhie said it succinctly when he said that there
are two kinds of Master Documents: Those that are corrupt and those that
will be corrupt soon. See
http://www.addbalance.com/word/masterdocuments.htm for information on the
Master Document feature and workarounds. See
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/WhyMasterDocsCorrupt.htm for more
information on what goes wrong, and
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/RecoverMasterDocs.htm for ideas on how
to salvage what you can. See
http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/magazine/technical/masterdocs.doc for
Steve Hudson's instructions if you are willing to follow them very
carefully.
