The RD field has to provide Word with enough information to find the file to
be referenced. Which means (obviously, I would have thought) that if the
file is not in a the current folder, you need to include an absolute or
relative path.

RD fields display no output. They just provide the content for the TOC.
Press Alt-F9 to see field codes.

You need to enter the TOC field separately, directly using Insert Field,
or using Insert Reference Tables.

I've looked at the Help documentation, and the information at:
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...cle.asp?ID=148 --
however,
none of it has helped.

When I create a separate toc file, and ctrl-f9, I see a blank RD field. If
I
type "RD#" [# being a space], the field just disappears. Completely.

The link above indicates the first RD field will appear like "{ TOC \o
"1-3"
\h \z }". In addition, it also indicates the proper formatting for the
field
is "{ RD \f chapter1.doc }" instead of just including the filename. Other
information I've seen indicates that if the toc file and the source files
are
in the same folder, you just need to include the filename, without the
path
to the file.

Finally, it's not clear if the link above is specific to Word 2003, or
will
also work with Word 2002. I have Word 2002.

Thanks
