AntiqueFlaneur Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I'm making a table of contents and need to be able to assign a certain text style to the parts of my chapter titles I want included in my table of contents. I find that I when I try to highlight and change the text styles of the roman numeral above the chapter title and the line below (so they are not included), the chapter titles in the middle get changed to, even though the text is not highlighted. So I end up with all three being caught up in whatever text style I select. See pic below. Any way to assign text styles without this happening? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see "PREFACE" (which I take to be the chapter title), "By DR. L. H. BAILEY", and the line. It would also help if you had Text > Show Special Characters enabled, as it's important to know whether those 3 lines are part of one paragraph, or individual paragraphs. If they're all in one paragraph, because (for example) you used a line break (shift+enter) after "PREFACE" rather than a paragraph break (enter) then they are all in the same paragraph, and any change to the paragraph style would apply to all of them.

I was using the line breaks instead of the paragraph breaks, and switching those fixed my problem. Thanks so much for your help!
