How do I link a Table of contents in a second document? in Word General Questions    |   |  Help   Search For:     In:   Office   Word     Word General Questions     Word New Users     Word Application Errors     Word Drawing and Graphics     Word Mailmerge and Fax     Word Page Layout     Word Programming     Word Tables              RWFTOC 6/6/2006 10:07 AM PST   Question   I have just completed a 5 volume report, and each volume is a separate document with its own automatic table of contents. I wish to paste-link the table of contents of the second, third, fourth, and fifth volumes into the first volume, so that I can have a complete table of contents in volume one. I have consulted a Word 2003 book and tried every(almost every) possibility from setting bookmarks to cross-referencing, but without any success. I get "bookmarks not defined" errors. Does anyone have a way to do this?     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           garfield-n-odie [MVP] 6/6/2006 10:46 AM PST   Answer   See the "How to create a table of contents for several documents" section at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html .

Take the same scenario of a 5 volume report. I want to bring their TOCs into a separate document and display them as 5 separate TOCs. That is volume 1 toc, space, volume 2 toc, space and so on. The page number is volume#-pg#. When I use RD to do this, it bring in all five TOCs into each of the TOCs I defined in the master document. I have to manually go delete the stuff I don't want. I've not found anything on this on the internet or MSFT knowlegebase articles. MS-Word 2003.     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top         Return to Microsoft Communities   Notify me of replies
