Default TOC that includes Section numbers, not page numbers

Unfortunately, there is no built-in (and quite possibly no practical) way to
do this.

What I need is the following:

Heading 1..........Section No
Heading 1..........Section No
Heading 1..........Section No

instead of:

Heading 1..............Page No
Heading 1..............Page No
etc

Does that make sense?

Hi - thanks for that. Unfortunately I do mean Section. Each Section
starts
with a Heading 1 style (which is not numbered and I don't want it to
be,
hence I haven't used Chapters). The table of contents needs to show
the
Section number where the Page number would ordinarily be. Each section

starts at page 1, so currently the TOC just shows a list of page 1s.
I've
temporarily got around it by creating a table with hyperlinks to my
Heading
1s and typing in the Section number, but this is not ideal. I look
forward
to any further response...

I'm
using Word 2003.-

Assuming you mean by "section" a "chapter" (and not Word's meaning of
section), you can use Heading 1 style with Outline numbering and
suppress page numbers in the TOC 1 style. Then, the TOC looks like:

1. AAAAAA
2. BBBBB
3. CCC
4. DDDD
etc

Does this answers your question?

Frankly, I don't understand the problem. Shd show like this?

SECTION
AAAA .................................1
BBB.....................................1
CC.......................................1
DDDDDDDD............................2
etc

Or

SECTION - 1
AAAA .................................a
BBB....................................b
CC.....................................c

SECTION - 2
DDDDDDDD..........................d
(a,b,c,d are page numbers)
