Removing Outline Numbering from TOC Erich Wolodzko 12.07.2006 18:43:37 I know this may be a sacrilege endeavor from a formatting standpoint, but it doesn't hurt to ask... I am trying to create a document template to help our editors in creating our reports. Currently they do everything manually. Sadly, they have some quirky practices that they may refuse to change. They use legal numbering throughout, but in the table of contents they use no numbering. For example, “III.A.1 Executive Summary” would appear in the table of contents as just “Executive Summary”. In the new document template, outline numbering is applied through the heading styles as recommended. When the TOC generates, it pulls all the text from the heading lines, including the numbering. Is there a nifty way to prevent the numbering from showing up in the TOC, or should I just have the editors (or a macro) manually remove them after their final update, just before publishing?
