Default How do I make a table of contents that covers multiple documents?

Hi bend,

There are two ways of doing this:
1. use RD fields in conjunction with a TOC field; or
2. create a TOC in each of the sub-documents, bookmark those TOCs, then use INCLUDETEXT fields pointing to those bookmarks,
in the document in which you want the combined TOC to appear.

See Word's help file for more details.

I'm writing a large project (thesis). For simplicity and memory purposes I
am organizing each chapter as its own word document. Can I make
automatically updating tables, TOC, table of figures, etc. that update from
multiple word documents?
Thanks.
