Adding to TOC

[Blip]

I am still new to TOCs. I have several documents already containing their own
separate TOCs however in the first of these I wish to add the main headings
of all the other doc's TOCs. (The primary headings). How do I do this? I
tried to do it manually but am stuck. Would appreciate any advice here.

Thank you Stefan. I had seen another article similar to this one which I had
difficulties with. What happens is when I press Alt F9, nothing happens. When
I press Cntrol F9, the brackets appear, however when I try to type inside
them the whole thing disappears. So I have been stumped there with both
solutions. I have Vista - would that be the problem at all as it seems many
things don't work properly with Vista (forgive my skepticism please).
what to do?

Certain fields are formatted as hidden (RD fields belong to this category),
so you must choose to display hidden text before you can work with them. I
should have mentioned this earlier, but since I keep hidden text displayed
at all times I tend not to think about it.

....um. How do I choose to display hidden text in abc language? My expertise
is very basic I'm afraid. If I do do this - will the problem of the
disappearing brackets be fixed?

non-printing characters.
