TOC entries in text boxes
OK, this is driving me insane.
My document has 2 text boxes per page (imagine two PowerPoint slides per page). I want ot be able to create a table of contents, but if the /TC field is in one of the text boxes then it will not be found when I creat the table of contents. How do I get around this? Thanks. |

Use frames instead of textboxes.

Unfortunatelt, when I convert them to frames the formatting goes to hell and
that simply is going to be WAY too time consuming. Is this an undocumented feature or a bug (because I sure didn't find this mentioned in the help)? After 9 1/2 hours, yesterdya, of trying to figure this out I gave up and asked the question here. 9 1/2 hours!!!!! Peter "Jezebel" wrote in message ... Use frames instead of textboxes.

Word's TOC and INDEX fields (among others) do not see anything in the
drawing layer, which includes text boxes. If you cannot switch from text boxes to other formatting, then use TC fields in the paragraphs to which the text boxes are anchored. -- Suzanne S.

Documented, yes: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;211208 I'm sure most anybody has to have run into it before discovering that KB-article ...
