I highlighted the text I wanted in the TOC, inserted a bookmark, named it
unit1. I then put the cursor where I wanted to insert the TOC. I hit ALT
F9, then CTRL F9 and typed "TOC\b unit1". I hit F9 to update the field,
then Alt F9. My other TOC reappeared but the new one didnt. What the heck
am I doing wrong? Am I forgetting to hit another key(s) to insert the TOC?
I cant insert it like a regular TOC because I dont have the option to use
bookmarks like I do table entry fields. I am starting to feel like a real
DOOFUS!!! HELP!!!

Each one of the headings you want to include in your TOC must use a heading
style or a style with an outline level, or you must have inserted table
entry (TC fields). That will be true for any TOC. To create the partial TOC,
you must select the entire portion you want included in the TOC (beginning
with the first heading and including at least the last, though I'd tend to
include the body text under it as well, just for consistency. When you have
selected this text, you use Insert | Bookmark to give this selection a name,
such as Unit1 or Unit_1. You then reference that bookmark after the \b
switch in the TOC.

Suzanne,
I have gone to your website (plus a couple of other places) and to the
best
of my knowledge followed the instructions but I can't make it work. Below
is
one of the TOCs I need, there will be one for each Lesson. I tried using
bookmarks and the " b" switch. Is there anyway you can show me what I
need
to do? Maybe that would help me see what I am doing wrong. I have been
working this issue for days and I'm really frustrated. I appreciate all
your
help and hopefully I can fix this today.

Did you mark the text to be included with a bookmark before creating the
TOC? And was the TOC field properly set up to include either
headings/outline levels or TC fields, depending on which you had used to
create the entries?

Thank you Suzanne. I did the tutorial on TOCs for extra help. I
carefully
followed the instructions, everything worked fine until I hit F9 to
update
the field after I put in the b switch. Nothing happened when I hit
F9--and I
didn't get my second TOC. I am growing weary and trying to figure
this
out
is exhausting.

The TOC field can accept bookmarks regardless of whether it is based
on
headings or on TC fields. You just bookmark the text you want
included
in
the TOC and add the \b switch referencing the bookmark.

I'm really confused now. The format I am using does not include
headings
or
conventional outline numbering (no numbering). I used TOC entries
because
it
was the only way I could find to mark text and generate a TOC. Is
it
possible to do what I need to using the TOC entries? I don't see
how I
can
generate a partical TOC without headings. Appeciate any help.

Can anyone tell me how I can generate multiple tables of
contents
using TC
entries?
I am developing a student guide and the TOC is divided into
Lessons
and
topics. What I need to be able to do is have a separate table
of
contents
for each topic--it will list outline sheets, diagram sheets,
etc.
I
know
how to apply the TC entries and have successfully generated
one
TOC,
however,
I don't know how to distinguish the different TOCs. The TC
dialog
box
allows
me to choose a table identifier and a level - but I don't know
how
to
use
them. I have been reading and scratching my head for hours.
Time
to
call
in
the experts. I appreciate any help from anyone. Thanks
