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.

Table of contents entry
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.

Table of contents entry
I figured it out. Hurrah for me. I needed to go to "Options" and click on
"Table Entry Fields. My Index doesn't have a number but it looks fine at the bottom of the Table of Contents. -- Nancy "Stella Rivera" wrote: Can anyone tell me how I can generate multiple tables of contents using TC entries?
