Hello,

Here is my problem: I have an Access table with 2 columns: a keyword
and a memo. From this table I want to create a Word document - this is
no brainer, I know how to do it. Now the difficult part - I want to
create an index table from the keyword columns (or table of containts).
My question: what are the internal values of code that mark a word an
the index?
I know how to do it manualy, but because the table have over thousand
entries, I want to do it automaticly.

Thanks,

Zalek

First question. Do you want a Table of Contents (i.e. with the entries in
the table in the order in thich they appear in the document) or an Index
(i.e. with the entries sorted alphabetically?

XE fields are used to create an index, TC fields a TOC. You can create a TOC
without using TC fields (using headings or outline levels), but you cannot
create an index except with XE fields. See the Help topic "Field codes: XE
(Index Entry) field" for more.

If you want to add the field by means of a VBA macro, then you use the Add
method of the Fields collection. The Range property of the method defines
where the field is inserted. You can insert XE and TC fields this way.

The VBA help file entry for the Fields collection includes code examples for
how to do this.

Well, I tried to do it, but it didn't work.

Here is what I did:

I wrote the Access table to a .TXT file.
For each string I wanted to be in the Index I created a additional
string '{XE "field name" }', for example if I wanted the string Zalek
to be in the Index - I wroted:
Zalek {XE "Zalek"}
Next opened the created .txt file in the Word. but when I tried: Insert
- Indexes and tables it said:
Error! No index entries found.

I also looked on values of inserted string when I created the Index
from the Word. It showed that the Word insted of character { is using a
character of ACII value 19 and insted of charater } is using a charater
of ascii value 21.

Any ideas what to do next?

Thanks,

Zalek
