TOC within a Word Table, split across columns
Hello there
I use Word 2002, SP3. I have document that acts as a discussion log containing dozens of topics discussed between myself and my customer. This document is re-versioned every time I turn the document around with answers, further questions and so on. Similarly my customer enters his queries/comments within each topic and mails the document back to me. Each topic has a brief heading/description. I would like to create a summary page at the start of the document that will: a) Show the serial number & heading/description of the topic b) Provide hyperlinks so that one can go directly to the topic by clicking on it c) Show a 'status' which will be manually updated from 'Open' to 'Closed' whenever a particular topic has been concluded d) Show a comment section where I can indicate when each topic was started and when it was closed. Now I have formatted each topic's heading as a 'Heading Style' so that Word can provide the automatic numbering and also create an automatic bookmark. Can Word put the attributes of a TOC within different columns of a table - i.e. i) The number of the heading in the first column ii) The text of the heading in the next column iii) Leave the rest of the columns for free usage by me, so that I can update the status, put some comments etc. I haven't had any luck in doing something like this. Instead, what I have ended up doing is that create a table with 4 columns, and manually insert cross-references for each heading in a separate row: a) Col 1: The paragraph number b) Col 2: The paragraph text Now every time a new topic gets added, I have to manually add a row. Is there a smarter way to do this? What would be wonderful is that I could do an F9 and just update the table (just like what one does in a TOC) Many thanks for any guidance that can be provided.
