I started with the minimalist table of contents title style, in other words based on the ToC Heading template. The important aspect is this template creates a vertical bar to the left of the title (picture below).
I would like to reproduce this for all of my headings throughout my document. My conundrum is the following:
As the base style is ToC Heading and not Heading 1, the table of contents will not reference it.
When I modify the base style from ToC Heading to Heading 1, the table of contents will naturally reference it; however, the vertical bar to the left of the title name is lost, as Heading 1 does not include this bar.
In other words, I want to keep the vertical bar, but it seems that only a ToC Heading base includes this aesthetic.
Picture (vertical bar can be seen in the document; style is based on ToC Heading)
How can I either force the table of contents to recognize my custom style as a heading to reference, or how can I retain the same aesthetic in my custom style after switching to a Heading 1 base?
Thank you!
Found it.
Highlight existing table of contents (highlighting the ToC title will create a menu above and to the left. Clicking on the ":" will highlight everything).
Click reference tab, look at the icon to add a table of contents, and click the arrow for a drop down menu.
Select custom table of contents from here.
Go to format. My custom style appeared there. I selected 1 as its heading level. It is now treated the same as Heading 1.
Add this table of contents and check the option to replace the current table.
Hope that helps someone else!

I'm trying to achieve this effect:
|First phrase...............................................Second phrase|
Where the | markers above denote the page margins, and ....... represents a 'horizontal space' (which may or may not use space as the character, a 'dot' as above, or any other character), which effectively expands to take as much space as possible between the two pieces of text.
This is pretty common, e.g., when designing a table of contents manually*, or when trying to achieve the kind of "chapter X...........page Y" effect in headers.
I know there's a specific and easy way to introduce this kind of 'expanding horizontal space', because I've done it in the past. But I just can't find it anymore. I just vaguely remember that the relevant menu allowed you to specify what character you wanted to use in this 'expanding space'. Also, it may or may not have involved the use of tabs.
Any ideas?
* Yes I know about the "Table of Contents" menu option, no I'm not trying to design a table of contents, it was just an example :)
I remembered.
Create a tab stop on the horizontal ruler above the page, right click to convert from a 'left' stop to a 'right' stop, and drag that stop all the way to the right margin.
Then, next time you press 'tab', the tab will automatically push any content to the right of your cursor, all the way to the right margin.
If you optionally also specify a fill character in the 'Tabs' tab of the 'Paragraph' formatting menu, the tab space will be filled with that character.
Hello I was wondering how to create sub-headers in an org document. I have tried this:
* header
* sub-header
Some text
The * works for the header part but will create bullets instead of sub-headers.
for these kind of questions the org-manual is the best place to check: https://orgmode.org/org.html#Headlines
Headlines define the structure of an outline tree. The headlines in Org start with one or more stars, on the left margin3. For example:
* Top level headline
** Second level
*** Third level
some text
*** Third level
more text
* Another top level headline
Hope, this helps!
As a supplement to the answer by #sanenr9, you can also enable a "clean view" that hides all but the last star in a heading if you prefer (see A Cleaner Outline View): the asterisks are still there in the buffer but they are hidden using an overlay.
Another useful hint is to examine the "Org" entry in the menu: there are many useful commands there (generally with a keyboard shortcut as well). E.g. you can add a new heading at the same level as the previous heading by clicking on the "New Heading" entry in the "Org" menu and you can then make it into a subheading by clicking on
"Org/Edit Structure/Demote heading" menu item (or you can use the indicated keyboard shortcut M-<right> which is done by holding down the Meta key and pressing the right arrow key.)
I have a long table. Not realizing that headings inserted inside a table don't appear in the Outline View or the Navigation Pane (See Blom's answer to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_word-mso_other/headings-do-not-appear-in-navigation-pane/c3ff186f-8363-47e2-9f46-8f2cf83d78b4), I put a bunch of Heading 1 and Heading 2 headings inside my table. Now I'm having trouble jumping around inside my document.
The brute force approach that has occurred to me is to split the table after every heading, and take the heading out of the table.
Any other ideas?
MS Word 2010.
This is a known issue and Stefan Blom's answer still holds:
It is a known limitation in Word that headings inside table cells won't appear in the Navigation pane. For what it's worth, the same thing applies to the predecessor of the Navigation pane, the so-called Document Map, in older versions of Word.
As you have noticed, Word properly adds headings inside a table to the TOC, fortunately.
If you want the headings to appear in the navigation pane you have to place them outside of tables, i.e. your suggested approach is the way to go.
If you still want the heading to appear like it is part of the table you can simulate that by adding a paragraph border around your heading. (Note: This still does not work if it is in a table cell. You must be outside the table cell.)
I had the same problem and found useful this alternative:
Select desired text inside the table and insert Bookmarks from Insert > Bookmarks:
Type a Name and add the bookmark :
Use Bookmark Panel (CTRL+SHIFT+F5) or "Go To" command to navigate inside the document
In my case, headings weren't shown because I mixed heading and body text. Example(black text: heading):
OR operator Displays records if any condition is TRUE
So I solved it putting the body text below
OR operator
Displays records if any condition is TRUE
When I am creating a heading in a word document and adding content to it, it is collapsing all the paragraphs added after the heading. But I want only few lines of text to be collapsed and retain the remaining. How can I achieve this?
Collapsing headings always collapsed everything below the heading. There is no option in Word allowing you to only partially collapse the text.
A collapsed heading is indicated by an outlined triangle to the left of the heading text as you can see here:
I have a row in a tablex that I want to hide based on a condition. I can do this with the visibility property and also using CanShrink as well is an option.
I've tried both of these and the best I can do is hide the row (make it invisible), but it keeps the whitespace it takes up - I need to remove the whitespace too so if it is not shown that it doesn't take up paper/viewing space.
I have also made the height of the row very small and put cangrow=true so that that if i populate the field with data based on an expression it will grow to the right size but this is not ideal because there is still 0.03125in of space for the row that is always shown (minimim height) and if it grows it grows to fit the text but not neccessarily the set size I want.
I thought I had done this before in an older version of RS but I can't seem to get it to work correctly in this version (2008).
Any ideas?
Try to set the Hidden property of the Static Row Group under the Details Group, in this case the whole row will disappear instead of the content of the textboxes.
If you are using Report Builder, you need to switch to Advanced Mode (make sure that the Properties and the Grouping windows are displayed, go to the upper right side of the Grouping window and press the black triangle):
Click on the second "Static" item under the "(Details)" group and you can set the Hidden property on the Properties window.
Link to MSDN sample
A simpler way to get to this option for hiding a row is to right-click on the row header and select "Row Visibility". From there you will get a dialog where to can enter an expression.
I was able to make the rows go away by setting the following 2 properties
textbox.CanShrink
row.Hidden
I played w/ row.HideIfNoRows and it seems to have no effect in accomplishing the desired outcome described by op.
Click on textbox, these one is in the properties of the textbox
(if there are multiple columns, I assume you will have to make this setting for each cell/textbox, in my case, I only had 1 column)
CanShrink=false
For the next property, you have to go into ADVANCED MODE by clicking the down arrow at the right side of the Row Groups/Column Groups pane.
Click on the Row containing the line you would like to hide.
The Hidden property can be found in properties pane...
This is an alternate way to set Hidden, as opposed to right clicking the Row Header in the actual Tablix.
Hidden= <expression describing when you want the row hidden hidden>
One other note - If you right click the Row Header and choose 'Row Visibility' you get a dialgue. the Row Property dialog has a caption "Show or Hide Based on an expression".
The actual behaviour is It will HIDE the row if the expression evaluates to TRUE.
IMHO - this is misleading, at best ambiguous.
Once you understand the property you are actually setting is called HIDDEN, then this makes sense. Until then, I certainly assumed I was setting a property called Visisble... FWIW....
On the empty row you want to hide, go to the text box properties and go to expressions -> visibility, then show or hide based on an expression and use
=iif(first(Fields!.Value = ""),true,false)
Setting row visibility logic is important, but I've learned that sometimes a blank row will still appear, even though its contents are hidden. To solve this, I had to do the following non-intuitive steps, but I did in fact succeed in completely suppressing unwanted white space.
In the cell in the tablix region, use the Insert > Rectangle menu option.
In the rectangle, use the Insert > Textbox menu option. Resize as needed.
In the textbox, right-click and enter a placeholder.
Set the value of the placeholder expression to whatever you need.
