When doing Legal style numbering, we use styles to accomplish a
numbering scheme
Article One: (text follows)
Section One: (text follows)
Section Two: (text follows)
Article Two: (text follows)
etc

The Article/Section numbering we accomplish using Heading styles that
easily allow a TOC to be created. Article/Sections are on the same
line as the text that follows. This has been accomplished by hiding
the paragraph mark.

After that overlong preface, here is the question: I understand there
is a tool in Word 2002 that will accomplish this without the necessity
of hiding the paragraph mark. What is it called, Where can I find it,
and How is it used?

My thanks
Dudley
 
It's called the Style Separator. You can find it buried in the Customize Dialogue box under All Commands. It will be listed as Insert Style Separator
You can get a little background info here

Also, if you apply a heading style to a selected part of a paragraph, Word
will install a style separator itself. It applies the heading style more or
less as a character style but with the difference that the style does show
up in the TOC. With autonumbering YMMV.

Suzanne,
I used what you said below in 2003, and I seem to have the following difficulty with it when it comes to paragraph numbering schemes. If I type the paragraph and then apply the Heading style to the part of the paragraph that will appear in the table of contents, Word sets this up just fine. But, when I apply an outline numbering format, it converts any part of the paragraphs to which I didn't apply the Heading Styles into the first Heading Style I applied (in this case Heading 1).
In my example, this produced a new Article for every paragraph I created.
If I applied the styles in reverse--that is, I made the whole paragraph the Heading Style linked to the level it should be in the outline numbering scheme, then selected the part of the paragraphs I didn't want in the TOC and chose an unlinked style, the numbering worked properly.
Seems the order you do this in matters when it comes to numbering.

Interesting. I haven't played with this feature much at all because I rarely
have occasion to need this particular feature (and when I do I usually use
the Hidden paragraph mark trick, though I believe that doesn't work with
outline numbering). Since I virtually never have outline-numbered headings
and don't often need TOCs, either, I just don't have much experience with
any of that.
