This is contrary to MicrosoftвЂ™s own documentation which insists that вЂњ When you click the Style Separator button, the insertion point moves to the right of the separator so that you can continue typing.вЂњ. The Style Separator is inserted but, in some of our tests, the cursor stays BEFORE (to the left) of the style separator. Insert the Style Separator вЂ“ Ctrl + Alt + Enter.Type the first words of the heading until you reach the place where text for the TOC wants to appear.The shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Enter is usually all you need. Customize | All Commands | Style Separator. (optional) Add the Style Separator to the Quick Access Toolbar.You need to see the Style Separator to figure out whatвЂ™s happening. Show All formatting marks Home | Paragraph | Show All.ThatвЂ™s somewhat idealistic situation but weвЂ™ll start with that, then move to more likely scenarios. The official style separator advice assumes that you create the heading as you type it. That said вЂ¦ there are situations where style separators are necessary. If possible, rearrange the document so that lead in or standard headings are OK. Truly вЂ“ the best solution for style separators is to avoid them altogether. ThatвЂ™s especially true in a collaborated document unless everyone involved knows exactly how style separators are being used. Hard to get right and way too easy to get mixed up.

So you just insert a style separator in a heading line and itвЂ™s all done? You wish! Style Separators are messy (weвЂ™ve marked two of the three style separators)
