How to insert different tables of contents in the same document

[Maryse Roupy]

I would like to create a quite big document with Word 2000 containing many
sections and in each section, I want to add a table of contents with titles
for only this section. I didn' t manage, Word creates automatically a table
containing titles from all document. I would appreciate if someone could
help me.
Many thanks
Maryse

The procedure is rather involved, but it's covered in the Help section on
Table of Contents. Essentially, you bookmark a selection of text (i.e. a
section), then insert a TOC for just that section. It requires you to edit
the TOC code.

One way would be to use the bookmark feature. You could highlight, for
instance, section one, use Insert Bookmark to give this section a bookmark
name, say "section1" (quotes not needed). Continue to highlight each
section, giving each a bookmark name.

Then, for the Table of Contents for the first section, use the Shift+F9 to
see the field code and add the bookmark name for that section after the \b
switch as follows: {TOC \b Bookmark1}. Continue for each section and when
you update each section you should pull in only the Table of Contents
entries for its bookmarked section.
