How can I customize the sort order of a Table of Contents?
I am using MS Word 2000. I am working with a 23 page document, such doc
includes built-in heading styles (Heading 1 and Heading 2). The automatic Table of Contents, by default, lists the headings in order of page numbers. Rather than this format, can Word list by headings instead? Specifically, I need my toc to first list of all of my Heading 1 designations, then my Heading 2 designations to follow -- can this be done? Are filtering options available? |

Hi Jill, You can't do this in only one TOC, but you can make two separate tables of contents, one that's limited to just Heading 1 entries and another that's limited to just Heading 2 entries. To do this, first insert two tables of contents in the normal way through the dialog. The second time, Word will ask whether to replace the first one; say No. Now press Alt+F9 to display the field codes, which will both look like this: { TOC \o "1-3" \h \z \u } The \o switch in this code describes which heading levels are included in the field's result. In the first field, change "1-3" to say "1-1". In the second field, change it to say "2-2". Press Alt+F9 again to switch off field codes, press Ctrl+A to select the whole document, and press F9 to update all fields. For each TOC you'll be asked whether to update only page numbers or the whole TOC; choose to update the entire table. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
