Create a TOC from Tables
I have a multi-page document that has a one-line table comprising 4
cells at the top of each page (not header). The table content on each page differs. The auto-generated TOC gives each cell its own line in the TOC with the same page number. I want to create a TOC that uses the content of all 4 cells in the row for a single line in the TOC. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, Robertgo, UK |

Create a TOC from Tables
Short of using TC fields, I don't know of any way to do this.

Create a TOC from Tables
And to have the table of contents entry (created from the TC field)
update semi-automatically, you can bookmark the various parts and add them in the TC field: { TC "{REF bm1 } { REF bm2 } { REF bm3 } { REF bm4 }" \l 1 } Note that these nested fields cannot be inserted via the Mark Table of Contents Entry dialog box; instead, you will have to press Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters, { }. Then type the code. Press F9 to update. Use Alt+F9 to show/hide field codes. To show/hide the TC fields, toggle the display of hidden text. "bm1" etc. are bookmark names; you can use something more descriptive if you prefer. \l 1 (lower-case L followed by the number 1) indicates that the text should be at the top level in the TOC. You can type a different number if you want it to be at a different level. For a slightly different approach, using STYLEREF fields, see Suzanne's article at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.
