Default How to create single TOC from multiple documents

Hi folks,

I'm hoping someone can help me create a single TOC from multiple documents.
I'm working with a group of 8 analysts writing various sections of a 200 page
report, so for simplicity we've divided the report into separate documents
for each chapter. We are using outline numbering for the chapter and section
headings, using styles (following the directions from Shauna Kelly's "How to
create numbered headings...".

My question is, is it possible to create a single TOC using the chapter and
heading styles from the separate documents? I'm open to any and all
suggestions! Except I'd prefer not to use a master document - I hear
terrible things about them...

Thank you!
Vrin
