TOC using Text in Table
Is is possible to create a table of contents using text drawn from two
columns of a table? Column 1 of my table contains a number. Column 2 contains some text. I want my table of contents to display the number and the text on the same line (perhaps separated by a tab), with the page number aligned to the right margin; eg 1. My First Subject..................................2 2. My Second Subject.............................4 TIA Geoff |

TOC using Text in Table
There is no doubt that, with a macro, you could create what appears to be a
table of contents with that information. You could not however do it using the normal method of creating a table of contents that results in the creation of a { TOC } field that can be updated. To update a "table of contents" created by such a macro, it would be necessary to re-run the macro (after first deleting and such "table of contents" that was already in the document, but the deletion could also be handled by the macro). -- Hope this helps.

Doug,
