Table of Contents using Styles
Hi,
We are creating a TOC that has just one level. We would like to sort the TOC alphabetically by heading rather than by page number. Is there a way we can do that? Thanks, |

Table of Contents using Styles
An alphabetical listing is not a TOC but an index.

Table of Contents using Styles
I left something out - we are creating the TOC using styles. It is a legal
document, an agreement. This is what the TOC looks like, manually typed: Page Apples and oranges Article X 39 Bananas Article II 3 Dates Article IV 22 Peaches Article I 55 We would like to automate the TOC rather than having it remain manually typed. Our document is set up using styles. What would you recommend as the best way to create the TOC in this type of scenario? Thanks! "Suzanne S.

It's still an index. I don't believe there's any way to do it with a TOC.
You could create TC fields that include the title and section, generate the TOC, unlink it, and sort, but then it could not be updated. -- Suzanne S.

Table of Contents using Styles
If the number of items that you want to list is not too large, you
could create it semi-automatically, by adding cross-references to paragraph text, paragraph numbers, and page numbers. And, assuming that each item is in a separate paragraph (or in a table row), you could sort the items alphabetically. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Rosemary" wrote in message ...

I discovered a work-around that makes this easy.
After creating the TOC, select all entries except the first entry. Then use Table/Sort to alphabetize all of the entries...except the first entry. Select the first entry and manually drag it to the correct location. dave green "Rosemary" wrote: Hi, We are creating a TOC that has just one level.

But note that any manual changes will be overwritten the next time you
update the TOC. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "dave green" wrote in message ... I discovered a work-around that makes this easy. After creating the TOC, select all entries except the first entry.
