TOC across multiple documents
Hello,
I am working on a large document with many tables and figures throughout. I would like to divide it into several smaller documents but would like to be able to generate a global TOC. Is there a way to do this ? Thanks! Katy |

TOC across multiple documents
Look in Word's Help for information on the RD (Referenced Document) field,
which is what you need to use. -- Suzanne S.

TOC across multiple documents - another question
Hello,
I have the TOC across multiple documents working just fine ... now I am working on one for the Table of Figures. I refer to the documents in the order that I want them to go in the table of figures, but that is not the order they appear in. The Figures from the current document are at the end, while figures from other documents occur first. Is there a way to correct this? Thanks! -----Original Message----- Hello, I am working on a large document with many tables and figures throughout.

TOC across multiple documents - another question
Hi Katy
When you refer to the "current document", do I assume that you have a document that contains some material, and that the TOC and/or TOF has to refer to material in that document *and* other documents? The way I usually do this is to create a document that contains nothing but the TOC and TOF. Well, it would actually have - a heading - all the RD fields, in the right order - the TOC field(s) - the TOF field(s) Then you avoid any problems of dealing with the "current" document. In really complicated cases, I mark the area of the RD fields with a bookmark, and get the TOC and TOF to refer only to the bookmark by using the \b switch. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
