collect headings to a table
I'm working on a technical specification and I need to collect the headings
of one section and put them with heading number into a table in anaother section. Other than doing this by hand, does anybody have a trick to making this happen? Thanks |

Have you thought of using a TOC?

You can certainly have as many TOCs as you like. You could generate the TOC,
unlink it, then use Table | Convert | Text to Table to put it in a table, then add columns as needed for the other data. -- Suzanne S.

Almost what I want. Actually, I need (would like) to keep the table linked to
the headings to track changes in the document. I'm looking into a convoluted path of copying pasting the TOC into Excel, adding my extra columns, and then pasting back to Word. Not very automatic, but it might work if the document doesn't get many updates. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You can certainly have as many TOCs as you like.
