FWIW, the instructions you quote are based on constructing a TOC based on TC
fields. Does your document actually contain TC fields (which must be
inserted manually)?

I am following the practice tutorial at:


http://office.microsoft.com/training...RP011526061033

I have successfully completed step 1 and step 2, where I have inserted a
basic TOC and 'Mark the text' for the second TOC. What I seem to be not
able
to do to complete is step 3, which requires insertion of a blank field,
and
viewing of the existing TOC (presumably to help set up the second TOC).

Step 3: Create a second TOC
1. Press CTRL+HOME to return to the start of the document.
2. Position the insertion point on the second blank line under the
existing
TOC. It is essential to separate the two TOCs with a blank line.
3. Press ALT+F9 to see the field code of the existing TOC. The blank line
from step 2 may disappear. Don't worry, as long as the two field codes are
on
separate lines everything will be fine.
4. Press CRTL+F9 to insert a blank field. You're going to create this TOC
without the help of the Index and Tables dialog box.
5. Between the braces, type TOC \f C to enable the TOC to collect the TC
fields marked with the table identifier C.
6. Press F9 to update the new TOC. If prompted, remember to update the
entire table.
7. Press ALT+F9 to see the field results.
There they are, two TOCs, the second of which contains only some headings
from throughout the document.
You can use this method to create many TOCs in a document €” just use a
different table identifier for each set of entries and TOC.

I've checked the Keyboard shortcuts and they appear ok.

Toggle Field Codes is the equivalent of Shift+F9, which applies to a
single
field code. Alt+F9 is View Field Codes, which toggles them all at once.
Since I never use a TOC field with the \h switch, I never see HYPERLINK
field codes, but I would not expect to even when viewing a TOC field
that
had it.

In any case, I don't see what this has to do with inserting multiple
TOCs,
which doesn't require that you view *any* field codes.

That is my problem - when I press ALT F9 nothing happens. I can select
the
"Toggle Field Codes" against individual line items in the contents,
but
not
see the code for the whole field (ie the tutorial has what the code
should
be, but all i can see are individual line codes
{HYPERLINK.\1."Toc148850471".}

Alt+F9 should display the field code for the existing TOC. Ctrl+F9
inserts a
blank field for you to create something from scratch. You should see
{ }
with the insertion point in the middle of the space between the
braces,
waiting for you to type your field syntax. If you don't know what to
type,
you're better off using Insert | Field to do this or, in the case of
a
TOC,
Insert | Reference | Index and Tables, just as you did with the
first
TOC.

I am trying to create multiple TOC's within the Practice word
document,
provided in the training section for Microsoft Word.

I can do everything up to Step 3: Create a second TOC step 3 -
"Press
ALT+F9
to see the field codes..." and step 4 "Press CTRL + F) to insert a
blank
field..."

The cursor is on the second line beneath the existing TOC as
instructed.
When I press "ALT+F9" or "CRTL+F9" nothing happens. I am assuming
at
each
step the keys are held down together (ie ALT key and the F9 key
are
pressed
simultaneously or rather, the ALT key is held down while I press
the
F9
key).

Do I need to have some sort of add in put into word, or somehow
set up
the
short cut? How do I fix this so I am manually able to insert a
table.

thanks
