Large Document TOC
I am building a TOC for a large document which spans 4 volumes. I would like
one TOC that covers the entire 4 volume set and a separate TOC for each volume. I have created a single master TOC using RD fields and that works well. I would like to know if there is a way to create a master TOC out of the 4 single volume TOC's in a way that will allow me to insert text between the TOC's in the master listing? I couldn't get the bookmarks to work with the RD fields (Bookmark not found message) and the master TOC seems to want to read all of the RD fields and build one big TOC no matter how I set it up. |

Large Document TOC
You cannot "split" the table of contents in the "master" document where you
inserted the RD fields. But you can insert a TC (table of contents entry) field at the beginning of each sub-document to add the text that you want to include with the TOC. First, display hidden text. In each of the sub-documents, add { TC "Your text here" \n }. To insert the field delimiters, { }, press Ctrl+F9. Type the code as shown. In the "master" document, add the \f switch to the TOC field code. Update the TOC. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Joseph Talbott" Joseph wrote in message ...

Large Document TOC
Thanks Stefan. I added appropriately described TC fields in the subdocuments
and adjusted my TOC levels to provide the appropriate character formatting and spacing and it works great. Now I am off to see about adding an alpha prefix to my page numbers (e.g. ES 1, ES 2, etc. for Executive Summary) but that's another post and another day.
