Re: Side-heads in Word?

["Margaret Secara" <margaret -dot- secara -at- alphather -dot- com>]

Well I don't know why it's a cheat.  There's really no moral issue in word processing, is there? :)  It works, and it works very neatly.  But the original poster seemed to want to have side heads appear in the TOC and Word's TOC won't pick up a style from within a table.

I use a 2-column table with no borders; (1.08"  and 5.0") and my "side head" contains a label, where appropriate, for the paragraph next to it.  It isn't a heading level, just a style called Label. All my actual TOC-type headings are outside the tables, just like figure and table captions.  The tables are only for the body of the text--and for regular tables, of course.

If this is cheating, I can live with it.  My conscience is clear.

3. Tables.  This is a bit of a cheat, but if you use a two-celled table 
with invisible borders, you get the same effect.
