I create large documents and am "jumping" around them. It would be great if I
could have Word have the TOC as a separate window that I could click on a
Heading number and the document would jump to that section.

Nice thought, Wayne, but I believe what you are asking is to be able to do
something in one window & have it affect the content in another without
affecting itself. AFAIK, that is a limitation of the OS, not any one specific
program.

There are probably VBA workarounds to accomplish the feat, but in the
meantime, have you tried using the Document Map? (ViewDocument Map). If your
TOC entries are based on Styles, it should give you pretty much what you are
looking for.

In addition, recent versions of Word have a GoToTOC button that you can add
to the toolbar. As the name suggests, this button takes you to the TOC.
Clicking on a TOC entry takes you back to the given heading.
