Re: TOC normal view differs from print view Word 2000 SP3

It is sometime since I used Word 2000, but your deduction about ToCs or ToFs not working in tables may not be correct. They definitely don't work in Text Boxes, as Text Boxes are in a different level than the text (likewise anything in a Header of Footer).

What may help you is now that you know that you can directly insert a Frame and place your picture inside it which saves you several repetitive steps. But did you know that you can Copy a frame by simply holding down the Control Key and click/dragging the edge of the Frame to copy to a new location. So if you create and edit a frame so that it is just the size and location you need, you can copy it to another location so that it is identical? This will save you much time making sure that each Frame is correctly formatted.

I would also suggest that if most of you pictures are going to be the same or similar in size, you could create a three-column page of (empty) frames and (dummy) captions and save the whole caboose as an AutoText entry. Then after finishing a page, you can start a new page by inserting the AutoText of the (empty) frames and (dummy) captions. Even if you have to make small adjustments for slightly different sized pictures, it should still save loads of time.

Thanks for your input. As I responded to Suzanne, I don't know that tables
support automatic TOC (I meant to say TOF) captioning. That is why I never
looked into tables. I have lots of table experience in web design using
Dreamweaver. Could one of you tell me that Word Tables supports automatic TOF
using captions within the tables?

Also, if there are going to be many photos in the document, I find it best
to edit them to the correct size and resolution before inserting them into

I am using the same pictures and drawings for HTML website use and book
hardcopy use. The pictures get resized, optomized and exported to a seperate
folder using Fireworks; for the website.

The book requires 1200DPI resolution because of house plan drawing
requirements, and the fact that I want quality photo resolution in the book.
Hey, anything worth doing is worth doing right. I also want a PDF book copy
of the hardcopy which can zoom down to 1200DPI resolution. I understand about
the screen resolution of 75DPI, but when you PDF zoom in on a drawing, the
drawing has to have the resolution for reading very small dimensioning
details.

The book will be published from the PDF files, which is another reason for
1200DPI resolution.

Many of my building site pictures have more than one interesting topic to
exploit. So I decided to crop on the fly to expand that portion of the
picture that relates to the topic at hand. Then later I expand on another
portion of the same picture. The penality here seems to be in file size
requirements for the unneeded portion of the picture. The initial penality
was learning how to crop in frames, but I now have that down to a science.
The resulting file size doesn't really matter for publishing requirements.

Yes I am a newbie to Word complex use, and I have made many trips to the VBA
websites which have helped a lot. Word performs very well with this copy of
the book and my only remaining heartburn is the randomness of placing frame
boxes. The frame parameters seem to vary without reason and the anchor
location seems to initially place without reason. Once you modify the frame
parameters then they hold if you have a picture inside the frame and the
picture has a caption assigned.

Section breaks still bother me somewhat. I understand the concepts, but
adding or deleting these section breaks can prove quite exciting with
unexpected results. I think the three columns may be a factor here. I do know
that three columns really makes the frame anchor initial placement act very
strangely.

Thanks
