Table of Contents help
I inherited a user manual that contains 18 chapters. Each chapter is a
separate Word doc. There is a TOC in the first doc. The original author somehow related the docs together to allow the TOC to capture info from all the chapters. I don't know how to relate all of the documents together to keep the TOC updated. If I change one of the documents and try to update the TOC, I get an error in the TOC. Is there a way to do this? Thank you. BTW, I'm using Word 2003. |

Do ALT-F9 to toggle between field values and field codes. Do "Display All" (The ΒΆ button on the toolbar) to see hidden text. YOu should see as many {RD } fields as you have chapters in your manual (18). Make sure that the path for each chapter in each RD field is correct. Do ALT-F9 to toggle back to field values. Do CTRL-A to select the whole thing. Do F9 to update the fields and the TOC. |
