Last year my department started using MS Publisher to create and update
training materials for three call centers. One big drawback (the only one
I've found so far!) is that unlike MS Word I have been unable to create an
automatic Table of Contents, therefore, we've been creating them manually
then updating them each time we need to update the materials (which is
frequently).

Isn't there some easier way to do this?

As you have found out, Publisher does not support TOC. Word is more suitable for
this.

Thanks for your reply, Mary. I knew the answer before I asked it, but I
thought there must certainly be a 'work-around' that I was missing. Although
I've used Word previously, with the amount of graphics we work with,
Publisher is SO-O-O much better.

I know Publisher does a far better job with graphics, but Publisher was never
designed to be a long document creator. Too bad Word isn't more graphic friendly
or Publisher isn't more word processor friendly.

If anyone is still looking for it, I have written my own code to build a Table of contents in MS Publisher:
