How can I get my Table of Contents in Word to ignore line breaks that are in the body of my text?
TomVassos The word Dedication was still in the Heading 2 Style
After changing it to the Normal Style
and then updating the table of contents, this was the result
Thanks so much for the clarification... we're almost there! It created the new entry perfectly, but it also kept the old incorrect entry as well:
I also attached the Word document in case you needed to see that again. (By the way, I'm co-authing an astronomy book with ChatGPT... feel free to read the first few pages of the book to learn more in case you're into that kinda thing... 🙂 )

TomVassos You need to change the Style of the original text so that it is no longer in the Heading 2 style. Change it to Normal and then reapply the font formatting to it to reinstate the appearance.
Well, after about 30 more tries I finally got it all to work properly:
That's it for now.... thanks for ALL your support!!! Tom

- Yes, did that multiple times, see Word document above... 🙂
TomVassos You will need to refresh the Table of Contents after changing the style of the Dedication with the fancy text and adding the TC field.
Have you done that?
- Darned, but if i do that, it won't show up as a second-level heading in my TOC. oh well, maybe after refreshing the TOC, I'll just manually change the text font in the TOC each time.
