[Idaho Word Man]

I have been assigned to revise a very large (900+ pages) document. It
consists of front matter, seventeen chapters, and three appendixes. Each of
these sections is a separate document. Page numbering restarts with each
chapter and includes the chapter number (e.g., 3-1).

I need to create a table of contents in the front matter, listing all
first-, second-, and third-level headings, plus separate tables for figures
and tables.

I've been told many times that I should stay away from using a master
document. Is there a safe and easy way to create a table of contents or table
of figures from multiple documents?

I know how to create a TOC in a single document. I'm using Office 2003 and
Windows XP Professional (SP2).

Thanks,

Fred
