Table of content from multiple files
Hi,
I'm working on multiple word documents that I cannot gather because they are too heavy, but I need to create a common Table of content for all these files, or at least insert the tables of content of each file in a single word document. Does anyone know a solution? Thanks in advance for your help. Frigal. |

Table of content from multiple files
Hi frigal,
Too 'heavy', huh? You can create a common TOC for all the files by inserting a TOC field into a suitable document and adding RD fields pointing to each of the source documents. See Word's Help file for more details. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "frigal" wrote in message ...

Table of content from multiple files
Hi macropod,
Thank you for your quick reply. My files are to heavy for regulatory purposes (50Mb). I went to the help section of MS Word, but I'm certainly not doing things properly since I have an Error message instead of a TOC: Error! Cannot open file referenced on page 1 Here is the fields I included in the document that should contain my TOC: { TOC \* MERGEFORMAT } { RD "\\path\filename.doc"} Do I need to index my Headings in the referenced document? I haven't done anything to that document, is referencing automatic or should I referenced it somehow? Frigal. "macropod" wrote: Hi frigal, Too 'heavy', huh?

Table of content from multiple files
Hi frigal,
You need to use double backslashes (ie '\\'') or single forward slashes (ie '/') as the path separators. Single backslashes won't work. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "frigal" wrote in message ... Hi macropod, Thank you for your quick reply.
