Table of Contents

[Kelly]

Hi

The company I work for produces large reports, which we
generally split into several files. Each report will
generally have between 6 - 10 sections, each in its own
document.

The first document always contains a table of contents. In
the past, some poor, unfortunate admin person has had the
task of manually doing this TOC. More recently we have
begun setting up a table of contents at the end of each
section, coping the text and pasting it into the TOC
section.

The problem is that this is still time consuming and
doesn't automatically update.

Is there a way to set up an automatic TOC in one document
that references to another/across many documents?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Kelly

Hi, Kelly. In the Table of Contents section, insert a RD field for each
Word document that should be covered by the TOC. Then insert the Table
of Contents by clicking on Insert | Reference | Index and Tables | Table
of Contents.

THANKYOU! That's so easy and it will literally save us
hours. Thanks so, so much!
