table of contents in mail merge

I have been trying for a few days to create a merged doument that has a
table of contents in the master document but the merged document only
shows "Error! Bookmark not defined" next to every entry in the TOC of
the (second) merged document. I have never used Table of Contents
before and I was given a document which I had to make into a merge
document using data fields and other documents from Access and assorted
data. In other words someone typed up a document and put in a table of
contents. It works fine in that document. Now I came along and put in
merge fields. When I create a new document using the merge fields, the
document updates all right but the TOC does not work. Why? This is very
frustrating and I know I am must be missing something but I am not sure
what. I made sure that the fields update before the merge and I checked
the box in options to make sure they update while merging. Can anyone
help with a simeple answer or at least one I will be able to follow
step by step. I am not usually this dense and can figure these things
out by myself but this has me stumped! Thanks in advance.

In case anyone else was trying to figure this out. I found the answer at
Microsoft finally by asking the right question. A table of contents
must be unlinked PRIOR to a mail merge (by pressing CTRL/shift/F9
within the link)) OR it must be created AFTER the mail merge is done. I
just love answering my own questions!! LOL
