Hide items from the TOC

[Natalie Westphal]

Hello, 

I am using the following code to create numbered tables: 

 var tableNumberField = paragraph.AppendField("Table", FieldType.FieldSequence) as WSeqField;

 tableNumberField.HideResult = true;

 paragraph.AppendText(reportTable.Title).ApplyCharacterFormat(format);

paragraph.ParagraphFormat.KeepFollow = true;

And using the following to create a table of tables: 

 var tablesTocParagraph = tocSection.AddParagraph();

 tablesTocParagraph.AppendText("List of Tables");

 //Create a new paragraph and append TOC.

 tablesTocParagraph = tocSection.AddParagraph();

 var tablesTOC = tablesTocParagraph.AppendTOC(1, 3);

 //Disable a flag to exclude heading style paragraphs in TOC entries.

 tablesTOC.UseHeadingStyles = false;

 //Set the name of SEQ field identifier for table of tables.

 tablesTOC.TableOfFiguresLabel = "Table";

I would like to exclude certain tables from the Table of Tables. Can you show me how to do that please? 

Thanks.

Natalie,
We have prepared a sample to hide the sequence field and update the TOC. Upon testing, we noticed that while the sequence number is hidden, the TOC entry remains visible.
We were able to reproduce the reported issue, “TOC remains visible after hiding the Sequence Field” on our end. We will validate this issue and provide you with more details within 2 days. Once the bug is fixed, you can use this solution.

Regards,
Sindhu Ramesh.

Hello,

In the attached sample project, I would like for there to be an entry in the List of Tables for the Product Details table, but I would like to hide the word "Table" from both the table title and in the list of tables. The attached word document shows what I would like to achieve. Is this possible?

Natalie,
From the expected output document you provided, we understand that your requirement is to display both a table entry with a sequence field identifier (e.g., “1 Employee Details”) and another entry (e.g., “Product Details”) in the List of Tables (TOC).

To achieve this, we have created a TOC that includes both a sequence field and a paragraph styled with a custom style named “MyStyle”. Applied the custom style “MyStyle” to the paragraph containing “Product Details”.

In this way, the TOC will include both entries as expected. Kindly refer to the attached sample for implementation details along with output document.
