TOC Layout question
Hi all,
I'm working on a template that was designed with bookmarks orginally. I would like to automate the table, layout shown below: TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Item 1 6. Item 6 2. Item 2 7. Item 7 3. Item 3 8. Item 8 4. Item 4 9. Item 9 5. Item 5 Can Word build & update in the above layout? Can Word update a manually built TOC in the above layout? I'm admittedly more familiar with Excel than Word, but after reviewing what's available on the web, it appears that I may have to go with a VBA solution. I'm cool with that, but not sure where to start. Cheers, Lillian |

TOC Layout question
Are you just saying you want your TOC to be in two columns? I don't see why
not, if you insert the TOC field in a two-column section. -- Suzanne S.

TOC Layout question
Just be aware that unless you have a two-column section already set up, you
haven't a hope that the right-aligned tab stop for the page numbers will be in the right place. There's still a chance it won't be anyway (though a limited test here seems to indicate that it works as desired); you may have to modify the TOC styles to move it. But the rest should work okay. -- Suzanne S.

TOC Layout question
Yep, keeps putting all of the content into two columns. How would the
toc style require changing, though? |

TOC Layout question
I assumed that when you created the two-column section for your TOC you
would understand that you must have section breaks before and after the TOC. Insert a Continuous or Next Page (as appropriate) break before and another after the TOC and then set the preceding and following sections to one column. -- Suzanne S.
