How can I create a table of contents in in a table format?
I currently have a table in my document that lists a bunch of e-mail messages
showing a summary. It contains the subject in one column and a few other details in other columns. I want to add a page number column also and then link the page number down to a section in my document that has all the details about the e-mail message. I'd like to actually use a table of contents type of a feature to accomplish this so that in my cell that says "subject", that would actually display the Heading (subject of my e-mail message) from my details section below and then the page number column would display the page that the heading (e-mail message subject) is on. That way someone can use that summary table as a table of contents and it functions for when using it electronically (click and it links right to document) or if it is printed (displays the printed page number they can go to). If I change a heading below down in my details or if they move to different pages, then i can simply just say "update TOC" and it will update my whole summary table. I realize I can accomplish this with bookmarks or cross references but it will take a long time to build. I have hundreds of messages. Does anyone have other ideas? |

How can I create a table of contents in in a table format?
You cannot create a table of contents in table format in Word (with the
exception, of course, that a table of contents can be placed in a *table cell*). Maybe someone can create a macro that does what you want. You may want to ask in a programming newsgroup such as microsoft.public.word.vba.general. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "lpicka" wrote in message ...

the other newsgroup. Thanks!!!

It is simple enough to convert a table of contents to a table using a macro,
but it will no longer be an updatable TOC, so if you may need to make changes later you should work with a copy of the document Sub TOCtoTable() Dim oRng As Range ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents(1).Update Set oRng = ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents(1).Range With oRng .Fields.Unlink .ConvertToTable vbTab .Font.Reset End With End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org lpicka wrote: I was hoping that wasn't the answer I was going to get!
