How would I merge a section into a footnote

[BruceJ]

I have a table that I want to convert to text, yet one of the columns has
the "section" that I want to have at the bottom of the page in a footnote.

basically it is a excel sheet that has recipes.
The columns are
title, ingredeants, steps, section

I would also like to be able to create a table of Contents and an index for
the cookbook. How would I best do that?

If this is not the right NG, please point me into the correct area. This is
the CLOSEST I saw that would describe what I am trying to do.


Thanks

Bruce

Hi Bruce,

You should put the "section" mergefield in the footer of the mailmerge main
document.

To enable creation of the table of contents, the "title" mergefield in the
main document should be formatted with the Heading1 style.

For the indexing, see the article “How can I automatically generate an index
in Word?” at:

http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Numbering/CreateIndex.htm

Sorry about that.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
