This question is about using Tables of Contents in Microsoft Word
2003.  I am writing a document with the following format:

[title page]

CHAPTER 1		[font style 1]
First chapter title	[font style 2]

[chapter text with various headings]

CHAPTER 2		[font style 1]
Second chapter title	[font style 2]

[more text]
[etc...]

Note that the text "CHAPTER 1" and "First chapter title" are on
separate lines. What I would like is a table of contents that looks
the following way:

CHAPTER 1. First Chapter Title ................. 1
	Heading 1 .............................. 2
	Heading 2 .............................. 3
	[etc.]
CHAPTER 2. Second Chapter Title ................ 8
	Heading X .............................. 9
	[etc.]

That is to say I want CHAPTER 1 and First Chapter Title to be on the
*same line* in the TOC, even though they are on different lines in the
main body of the document.  Just to be clear, what I do *not* want is
the following:

CHAPTER 1. 
	First Chapter Title ............................ 1
		Heading 1 .............................. 2
		Heading 2 .............................. 3
		[etc.]
CHAPTER 2. 
	Second Chapter Title ........................... 8
		Heading X .............................. 9
		[etc.]

The easiest option is to use the bullets and numbering feature in
MS-Word when you draft the document. Goto Format > bullets and
numbering. Select ?outline numbered?.  Go to the choice Article 1 and
customize it.  Replace the word ?Article? with ?Chapter?.

Alternatively, once the document is drafted, you can flag each heading
for use in the table of contents.  Top do this, go to Insert >
References >Index and Tables.  Select the Table of Contents tab and
hit the ?Show outline toolbar?  then highlight each heading and select
what level you want it to be.  Chapter = level 1? subheading = level
2, etc.

Formatting may get weird using option 2; resize the fonts when you are done.

Although not a proper method ? more of a cheeky workaround really ?
but it works for me.

Type the chapter title after the chapter number but make the font
white so it doesn?t show up in the document. In the TOC you can give
the font other properties so it shows up.

Then, so that the title doesn?t appear, again below, apply a font
style other than a heading style to it.
Like so:

Chapter 1. First chapter title  [All in Heading 1 style, with "First
chapter title" in white]
First chapter title   [Font style other than heading ? Define one
yourself if you need to]
Heading 1 [Font style Heading 2]

Hope this is workable.
