creating multiple TOC in one document

[Kristina]

Hi,

I've read everything that I've been able to find about
creating multiple TOCs in one document. I've created a
master document (and am now thinking of turning it into one
really long document based on how buggy this feature seems
to be) and want one big TOC for the entire doc, as well as
separate TOCs for individual chapters.

The first big TOC works fine. The problem is creating the
smaller individual TOCs for a specific chapter. I created
and added a bookmark that selects all of the text for a
specific chapter, ex Chapt1 using 'Insert>Bookmark>Add'.
Then I inserted a TOC field specifying the /b and /o
switch, and then the bookmark, ex '{TOC\b\o Chapt1
\*MERGEFORMAT}' using 'Insert>Field>Index and
Tables>TOC>Options'.

Instead of displaying a TOC, I get an error message:
'Error! No bookmark name given.' Using the
'Insert>Bookmark>GoTo' command I can jump to the
appropriate section, i.e. Chapt1, so I know that this
bookmark exists. So why won't the TOC display?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kristina

Did you update the TOC after editing the TOC field?

Hi, Kristina,

The bookmark name has to follow the \b switch, without the \o switch in
between. Either of these field codes should work:

{TOC \b Chapt1 \o \*MERGEFORMAT}
{TOC \o \b Chapt1 \*MERGEFORMAT}

Regards,
Jay
