lines next to headings, where they shouldn't be! 1

[manjitplaha]

hello,

i have generated a contents page in word 2000, however on the right hand side of all headings, except heading 1, they have a little vertical line drawn there... how do i get rid of this, as it appears when i print the document too

thanks in advance!

Hi,
You can check in the ruler and see if a bar tab has been set and drag it off if it is.

Good luck,


Best,

Hi manjitplaha,

Could you possibly have Borders on the right set on the TOC Styles (other than TOC1)?

Enjoy,
Tony

Have had this happen before and it WAS a "bar tab", even though it was not visible on the ruler or in the tab dialog box.

Try selecting at least the affected paragraph, if not the whole document, then double-click the ruler and click the "clear all" button.

Hopefully, it WILL solve the problem.

manjitplaha,

So sorry that the previous did not work. Have you already checked the formatting of the style(s) being used for the headings which have the vertical bar? I would check in BOTH of the following locations...

Location 1
Press Shift+F1 then click the heading, look at the listed formatting. Press ESC to return the mouse to normal mode.

Location 2
Select the heading, click Format, then click Style and look at what is listed in the Description area.


Hope there is a clue there somewhere. Good luck.

THANK YOU! i checked the formatting using shift f1 and there was a border applied to the rhs... no idea why though!
