The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer generated a Table of Contents in WP 6.0 DOS that was originally created in WP 5.1 DOS. The [Center] codes that are included in the ToC Marks are being ignored (i.e., [Begin Mark:ToC][Block Pro:On][Center on Margin]text[End Mark:ToC]). Solutions: The program is working as designed. Development made the decision for WP 6.0 to ignore any line formatting codes other than [Tab] and [Indent] when generating a Table of Contents because the majority of users do not want those codes included, even if they are accidentally included in the ToC mark.

The ability to use Line Formatting codes was added in the WP 6.0a (09/13/93) version of the program.

How/Why:
There is a workaround customers can use if they wish to include line formatting codes in a Table of Contents level by modifying the ToC Level Style as follows:
1.      Go into the Table of Contents Styles dialog box by pressing Alt+F5, D, C, S
2.      Highlight the Table of Contents level you wish to modify and select 3 for Edit
3.      Select option 4 to go into the Style Contents box
4.      Place the cursor at the end of the formatting codes listed, then insert any line formatting codes that you wish to be a part of that level
5.      Press F7 to exit the Style Contents box
6.      Click on OK or press Enter to exit the Edit Style dialog box, then press F7 until WP returns to the document screen

Note: This procedure will temporarily modify the style for the Table of Contents level and will not affect any future documents using the Table of Contents feature.
