I have a manual which is 18 different sections right now. At the beginning
of each section, I have created a TOC using Tags with headder formats.

I would also like to create a general TOC in the beginning that lists all
TOC's for the 18 documents. I have gone into each doc and copied the TOC
and pasted it into a seperate doc. All looks fine till you go to print,
then every line where the page num is says "Error! Bookmark not defined."

Can someone give insight as to what I am doing wrong???

Any help is appreciated

The individual TOCs are fields (when you display field codes, you'll
see {TOC ...} with a bunch of "switches" in place of the ...). Each
TOC field refers only to the tags in the same document with the field.

To pull in information about tags in other documents, you first have
to insert an RD field for each of the other documents. Then you insert
one TOC field, which reads through the documents mentioned in the RD
fields. ("RD" stands for "referenced document".)

For more info and an example, look at the Help topic "Field codes: RD
(Referenced Document) field".

WestComs:

You should look up RD fields in Help.

In short, you create a separate front matter document to hold your title
page and overall toc and prefactory material etc.

In this document you create a TOC and then (at the end of the doc) insert a
separate RD field for each of your 18 sections. This tells Word when
compiling the TOC to look in the RD documents for eligible TOC headings or
entries and include them in the overall TOC.

I find it simpler to put all the documents in the same folder, then you
don't have to specify a full path name when creating the RD fields.
