In Writer the only way I can think of to do this is to create a character style for the run-in header. The problem is that the table of contents utility looks only for header paragraph styles, not character styles. Unless I'm wrong about that. If I was doing this in Adobe InDesign I would create a nested style, but Writer doesn't have that functionality. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks John. Yes, InDesign, FrameMaker, Interleaf ... could be done straightforwardly in various other products. The downside of mimicking Word, I suppose.
