Default Table of content

Hello all, I have been trying to make a document including i's and number
numbering and i can't do it to make an automatic table of content. What i did
i created a main document with a table of content with number (1 to X (where
X is the number of pages)) numbering and i created a separate document for
i,ii,iii,iv.......numbering and to make a full table of content i copied the
table of content from the main document to the other document. When i want to
print the table of content from the main document copied to the other
document shows an error saying Bookmark....Please will you help me find a
solution to my problem?

Default Table of content

The problem is that you're doing this as two separate, unlinked documents.
There are a number of complicated ways to make this work, but the simplest
way would just be to put the two documents together into a single document,
with a section break between them.

I'm assuming you're using Office 2003 or older. If you're in 2007, these
instructions might not work. I'm also assuming that you based your TOC on
heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.).

At the end of the first document, select Insert - Break - Next Page. Then
open the header or footer (wherever your page numbers are) in Section 2 to
make sure it is NOT linked to the previous section. If it is, deselect that
option. Then go to the second document and copy the entire contents and paste
them into the first document after the section break. You might need to reset
your page numbers to Arabic numerals in the second section. Then go to your
TOC and hit F9. If it asks whether to generate page numbers only or the
entire table, select entire table.

I hope this helps.

Default Table of content

To have two different page number formats in a document, you need a section
break. See
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...rontMatter.htm.

If you want to keep the two documents separate (which will be a little more
difficult to maintain), see this article:
