Creating TOC
Is it possible to pull information into the table of contents that has been
typed in the header area? For instance I would like to have the Name of the Chapter, the section number (from the header) and the page number in my TOC Section Title Page 1.2 Chapter 1 name 4 1.2.1 Chapter 2 name 10 Unfortunately the person who put this large doc together didnt use standard outline numbering. Thanks! |

Creating TOC
Not from the header, no, because Word wouldn't know what page number to
assign. If the chapter names are headings in the document, you can repeat them in the header using a StyleRef field (see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm). You can apply outline numbering to TOC entries (by adding it to the TOC styles). -- Suzanne S.

Creating TOC
We have no problem pulling the chapter names from Heading 1 styles. And the
associated page numbers pull without a problem. We just want to be able to pull the section number that is text that is typed into the header that describes the section numbering. We are not using outline numbering since I think this is an older document to which many sections are not obsolete. So I am able to create the TOC with the Chapter Name and page number. What I need to add to it is this text from the headER area. I guess if you think of it in terms of being any text someone may have put in the headER and forget that it looks like outline numbering. I know it sounds awful and I have pleaded with them to change it but they wont. I thought I could possibly mark the header text with TC field "Suzanne S.

Creating TOC
If you already have the chapter name and page number in the TOC, then all
you need to do is add outline numbering to the TOC styles as previously suggested. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/T...mberedHeadings -- Suzanne S.

Creating TOC
Maybe I am not doing a good job explaining what we are trying to do.
I need a TOC that looks like this 1.5.2 New Program 4 3.2 All about us 6 4.1.2 Not about us 8 1.7.2 Old Program 10 Where these numbers that are not in any specific order are pulled from the header (footer) of each part of this document. The document parts are already numbered and cannot be changed. They are not consecutive or consistant. .. "Suzanne S.

Creating TOC
In that case, I suspect you will have to either build the TOC based on TC
fields or create it by hand. -- Suzanne S.

Creating TOC
Thank you! Yes, I will. How do I do that when I need to pull text from the
Header area as well as Heading 1? I realize it is probably an extensive topic. Can you direct me to a resource? Thanks "Suzanne S.

Creating TOC
Look in Word's Help under "Field codes: TC (Table of Contents Entry) field."
For each heading, you'll need to enter the appropriate TC field. Then create the TOC with "Table entry fields" checked in the TOC Options and "Styles" and "Outline levels" not checked. -- Suzanne S.
