Creating TOC from Multiple Documents
I have been assigned to revise a very large (900+ pages) document. It
consists of front matter, seventeen chapters, and three appendixes. Each of these sections is a separate document. Page numbering restarts with each chapter and includes the chapter number (e.g., 3-1). I need to create a table of contents in the front matter, listing all first-, second-, and third-level headings, plus separate tables for figures and tables. I've been told many times that I should stay away from using a master document. Is there a safe and easy way to create a table of contents or table of figures from multiple documents? I know how to create a TOC in a single document. I'm using Office 2003 and Windows XP Professional (SP2). Thanks, Fred |

OMG this article is fabulous! I've seen it cited in several places, and
you're just the top of the search results. THANK YOU for solving my problem. Now I (hopefully) won't need to combine my team's chapters into a ginormous doc. Thank you!!! =) "Dian D.

Sorry, should be more specific -- I used the article on "Creating a Table of
Contents Spanning Multiple Documents". Thanks! =) "cowpants" wrote: OMG this article is fabulous! I've seen it cited in several places, and you're just the top of the search results.
