Default Complex table linking

Hi there,

Need some help with the following two problems.

1. Create two sets of tables that must each run numerically. For example set
one muct have a field that counts A1, A2, A3 etc. For set two also a unique
count field, B1, B2, B3 etc. Each of these tables will also have a unique
name / title.

2. I then need a 'contents' table that will take A1, A2, B1, B2 etc and link
ther respective titles.

I hope this is enough information to help.

Thanks,
Patch

This is doable, but we need to know exactly what you mean by (2). Do you
mean that A1 should be followed by A2 in the TOC? This is going to be quite
difficult unless they follow chronologically in the document.

Yes - ideally I would like the TOC to ordered numerically. If not possible, I
will have to do manually I guess.

Your assistance is appreciated.

I suppose you could create the TOC automatically, then (when editing is
complete), unlink it and sort it as desired.

Yes that would work. Are you able to talk me through my queries please? I am
a bit of a table novice.

Thanks.

I'm just leaving for a weekend out of town, but I imagine someone else can
help. I think it's more of a numbering issue than a table issue.
