Default Inverting a Table of Contents (similar to pivot table)

Hello,

I have a long word document and trying to be structured using headings.
My difficulty is deciding how I group information under headings and
essentially everything needs to be crossreferenced. An Example is as
follows:
1. Country A
a) size
b) population
2. Country B
a) size
b) population

There are pages of text under each heading. Now is there a way to
invert the TOC so I could navigate
1) Size
a) country A
b) Country B
2) Population
a) country A
b) Country B

thanks. This is sort of similar to a pivot table in Excel.

Daniel

What you describe is an index, not a TOC. Use Index fields.
