Is there a way in FM10 to exclude Newline from TOC?

Non-breaking spaces work very well for controlling where headings break in the TOC. But if you use any cross-reference formats that include the <$paratext> variable, remember that the non-breaking spaces will appear in those cross-references, too, and that can lead to some ugly line breaks in body text. 

I suggest using non-breaking spaces in headings sparingly. Don't put them everyplace you don't want the line to break. Generate the TOC without them. Then, if a line breaks at a bad spot, use a non-breaking space only where it's needed to force the line to break at a better place.
