Multiple TOCs
I am trying to create a report template where I have a table of contents for
all of my sections, sections headers, etc. and then a separate table of contents, after that first and main TOC for tables and figures in my report. Is this possible? I want them to be mutually exclusive. Any help that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated! |

In the document, insert a bookmark to contain each section that needs a separate TOC. Then use a \b switch in the TOC field and supply the bookmark's name. The article http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...OCSwitches.htm describes this under the heading "A partial table of contents". -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Multiple TOCs
Word already has provision for a Table of Figures (separate tab in the
dialog), which is built on figure captions (which include the { SEQ figure } field), but you can have as many TOCs as you like. Some precautions are required, however. 1. After the first TOC, press Enter at least twice before trying to insert another TOC. To make sure that you have an "empty paragraph" (paragraph mark) outside the TOC field, display nonprinting characters (so you can see the paragraph marks) and press Alt+F9 to display the TOC field. It's generally prudent to leave one entirely empty paragraph between TOC fields, so you should insert the next TOC in the second paragraph after (outside) the first one. 2. If, when you go to insert the second TOC, Word asks you (despite all these precautions) whether you want to replace the existing one, Just Say No. If you're building your List of Tables on a specific style or caption type ( SEQ table, for example), it will be more efficient to use a Table of Figures rather than a Table of Contents; you can select either the caption type or a given style (but only one, unlike the TOC in which you can designate as many styles as you like at any given level). -- Suzanne S.
