StyleRef, say myHeading.
Is there a way that i can auto collect the myHeading

Hi Cheariot

The way is to -- actually use a TOC (table of contents) field that only
collects the style you want, with or without page numbers.

The dialogue in Insert | References | Indexes and tables | Options lets
you specify the styles you want the TOC to look for, and to which TOC
level those entries shall be assigned. The parent menue lets you
deselect page numbers, if that's what you like.

Hi robert,
thanks for the tips.
i can use TOC to list the content i need now. is there a
way that i can format the TOC into format that i need?
e.g.
Words Content:
.....
ItemA (TOC1)
ItemB (TOC1)
.....
ItemC (TOC1)
.....

// with TOC, i listed down
ItemA
ItemB
ItemC

--> can i transform the listed result into:
+------+--------+---------------+
+ Item | Name | Comment |
+------+--------+---------------+
| 1 | ItemA | my comments...|
+------+--------+---------------+
| 2 | ItemB | comments... |
+------+--------+---------------+
| 3 | ItemC | my ... |
+------+--------+---------------+

Ultimately, i would to collect a list of result and
tabulate them into a table formats (with additional added
columns).

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Rgds,

in the TOC field, select the "level" of the styles to be different than
any you using for the main TOC.
Then, the table you're creating will have the styles "Toc"+ the level
number.
Format the styles to have the border, alignment, tabs, etc. that you
want.
I don't know how to make it look like a regular table, though.
I thought of "text to table", but that doesn't seem to work unless you
convert the list to static text instead of an updateable TOC.
(how to replace a field with its results? gotta be in the FAQ
somewhere...)
