I don't understand this suggested solution. How would creating a new page style result in the ToC entry for my heading to have different text than the heading itself?

The test document is somewhat confusing, because all of the text is lorem ipsum gibberish that is hard to distinguish. But, be that as it may - the text in the ToC entries is the same text as in text body. Ah, I think perhaps you were focusing on page headers or footers. Remember what RGB said: That is just a use case of abbreviated text. The point is to be able to use a short version of the heading paragraph's text, wherever it is that you need to use it. The popular uses are in ToCs and in page headers or footers. I'm not sure I understand the second solution, even if we only thing about page headers, even after your expalanation. The different kinds of "Hidden" things - "Hidden characters", "Hidden text", "Hidden paragraphs" - each with their own toggle in Tools > Options - are thoroughly confusing. People should certainly not be treating alternative text as "hidden" actual text, and rely on using the UI for hiding things to achieve such an effect. Anyway, bottom line: it doesn't WORKSFORME, so un-resolving... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
