I can't think of anything to add to my previous answers. It should work
provided you have inserted the bookmark correctly. But inserting the TOC
using the dialog (and then editing it by hand) is less prone to error.

Thanks Suzanne. I found a way to do it. Its not exactly what I want but
it
will do. Did you look at the steps I followed (in my previous post)? Was
I
doing it correctly? I would like to know for future reference should I
decide to use the bookmark method. Thanks again.

Instead of inserting the TOC field manually, why don't you work through
Insert | Reference | Index and Tables, which will allow you to select
the
options you want in the TOC? You'll still have to insert the bookmark in
the
TOC field manually, but the dialog will take care of the other details.
After the TOC is entered, then you can Alt+F9 to display the field code
and
edit it manually.

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.

news 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
