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

[Fred Ridder]

Good point, Richard. 
In my defense I'll simply point out that at all of the last three companies I've worked for, the standard style was to include only the label and autonumber and not the text of the heading/caption/title in cross-references. Of course, if my current employer ever decided to join the trend to eliminate numbered headings, we'd have to change that practice, but the chances of that happening are very slim.

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.
