Table of contents entry
Can anyone tell me how I can generate multiple tables of contents using TC
entries? I am developing a student guide and the TOC is divided into Lessons and topics. What I need to be able to do is have a separate table of contents for each topic--it will list outline sheets, diagram sheets, etc. I know how to apply the TC entries and have successfully generated one TOC, however, I don't know how to distinguish the different TOCs. The TC dialog box allows me to choose a table identifier and a level - but I don't know how to use them. I have been reading and scratching my head for hours. Time to call in the experts. I appreciate any help from anyone. Thanks -- Stella Rivera |

Table of contents entry
I'm really confused now. The format I am using does not include headings or
conventional outline numbering (no numbering). I used TOC entries because it was the only way I could find to mark text and generate a TOC. Is it possible to do what I need to using the TOC entries? I don't see how I can generate a partical TOC without headings. Appeciate any help. -- Stella Rivera "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Bookmarks.

Table of contents entry
The TOC field can accept bookmarks regardless of whether it is based on
headings or on TC fields. You just bookmark the text you want included in the TOC and add the \b switch referencing the bookmark. -- Suzanne S.

Table of contents entry
Thank you Suzanne. I did the tutorial on TOCs for extra help. I carefully
followed the instructions, everything worked fine until I hit F9 to update the field after I put in the b switch. Nothing happened when I hit F9--and I didn't get my second TOC. I am growing weary and trying to figure this out is exhausting. -- Stella Rivera "Suzanne S.

Did you mark the text to be included with a bookmark before creating the
TOC? And was the TOC field properly set up to include either headings/outline levels or TC fields, depending on which you had used to create the entries? -- Suzanne S.

I figured it out. Hurrah for me. I needed to go to "Options" and click on
"Table Entry Fields.

Table of contents entry
Suzanne,
I have gone to your website (plus a couple of other places) and to the best of my knowledge followed the instructions but I can't make it work. Below is one of the TOCs I need, there will be one for each Lesson. I tried using bookmarks and the " b" switch. Is there anyway you can show me what I need to do? Maybe that would help me see what I am doing wrong. I have been working this issue for days and I'm really frustrated. I appreciate all your help and hopefully I can fix this today.

Table of contents entry
Each one of the headings you want to include in your TOC must use a heading
style or a style with an outline level, or you must have inserted table entry (TC fields). That will be true for any TOC. To create the partial TOC, you must select the entire portion you want included in the TOC (beginning with the first heading and including at least the last, though I'd tend to include the body text under it as well, just for consistency. When you have selected this text, you use Insert | Bookmark to give this selection a name, such as Unit1 or Unit_1. You then reference that bookmark after the \b switch in the TOC. -- Suzanne S.

I highlighted the text I wanted in the TOC, inserted a bookmark, named it
unit1. I then put the cursor where I wanted to insert the TOC. I hit ALT F9, then CTRL F9 and typed "TOC\b unit1". I hit F9 to update the field, then Alt F9. My other TOC reappeared but the new one didnt. What the heck am I doing wrong? Am I forgetting to hit another key(s) to insert the TOC?

Table of contents entry
Instead of inserting the TOC field manually, why don't you work through
Insert | Reference | Index and Tables, which will allow you to select the options you want in the TOC? You'll still have to insert the bookmark in the TOC field manually, but the dialog will take care of the other details. After the TOC is entered, then you can Alt+F9 to display the field code and edit it manually. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Suzanne. I found a way to do it. Its not exactly what I want but it
will do. Did you look at the steps I followed (in my previous post)? Was I doing it correctly? I would like to know for future reference should I decide to use the bookmark method. Thanks again. -- Stella Rivera "Suzanne S.

Suzanne,I have gone to your website (plus a couple of other places) and to the best of my knowledge followed the instructions but I can't make it work. Below is one of the TOCs I need, there will be one for each Lesson. I tried using bookmarks and the " b" switch. Is there anyway you can show me what I need to do? Maybe that would help me see what I am doing wrong. I have been working this issue for days and I'm really frustrated. I appreciate all your help and hopefully I can fix this today.

Table of contents entry
If you are inserting the TOC field manually, you must include a switch that
tells Word what to pick up: styles or TC fields or outline levels. For example: The field { TOC \o "1-3" \b "test" } instructs Word to look for paragraphs formatted with styles whose outline levels are set to 1, 2, or 3 (this applies to the built-in headings, for example) within the bookmark named "test." For more, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/TOCSwitches.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stella Rivera" wrote in message ... Thanks Suzanne. I found a way to do it.

Table of contents entry
I can't think of anything to add to my previous answers. It should work
provided you have inserted the bookmark correctly. But inserting the TOC using the dialog (and then editing it by hand) is less prone to error. -- Suzanne S.
