1. Open the document containing the appendix.
2. Open the "other document". Select the TOC in the "other
document", and press Ctrl+Shift+F9 to unlink it. Press Ctrl+C to
copy the selected text. Close the "other document", and DO NOT
SAVE changes to it.
3. In the document containing the appendix, press Ctrl+V to
paste the unlinked TOC from the "other document". Remember that
the unlinked TOC will not update automatically (neither the TOC
headings nor the page numbers) if you make changes to the "other
document".

Hi,
I am working on a document which has a table of content. I would like to
insert, in the appendices of this document, another word document which has
its own table of content. I tried by copying and pasting this second one in
the first one but then, the headings change, the numbering gets a little
wrong, because, I think, it gets confused with the numbering of the first
one. Is there a way that I can paste the second one in the first one in a way
that it will be the exact copy of what it is when that document is open on
its own (the page numbers can chage to fit the master document but that's
all). It doesn't matter if I can't make any changes in it later on. I tried
to do a paste special to paste it as a picture but it didn't work. I would
very much appreciate help on this one. Thanks
