Stated that: I, personally, never read user guides (and probably never will). If I would like to change the way a section heading appears in the TOC, I would start by right-clicking a section heading and look for a menu item that does what I want. So, shouldn't we blame ourselves that there isn't a context-menu item called "Insert Short Title" ? Vincent
