Update TOC based on linked documents
I am just becoming a heavy Word user, and I need some help.
I need to be able to link different documents into a master doc., and update TOC in the master doc. based on what document(s) I bring in. Is it possible? Thank you, -- Lana Gutnik MS Word new user |

Update TOC based on linked documents
Note that Word's master document feature is buggy. If you must keep separate
files, see this article: http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...cle.asp?ID=148 ("Creating a Table of Contents Spanning Multiple Documents"). Alternatively, insert the "subdocuments" as links into the "master"; see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfm...ldscontent.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Lana Gutnik" wrote in message ...

Update TOC based on linked documents
Stefan,
Thank you for the info. But I finally found out what my manager wants me to do. EX: We have multiple templates that do not have headers, and are written using the same style guide as our main doc. The first line in each subdoc. is a TOC item. Depending on the project, a person will copy the main template and additional specific documents from a shared drive to a local drive. Than, they should be able to use a checkbox, a command button, etc. to insert sub-doc(s), and make it one big document. Is it possible? Do you have any suggestions?
