Limiting TOC to single section

S

SLW

I have several subdocs that I include in a master doc.
Each sub is a section of the master and has its own TOC.
When I update a TOC is a section, it includes headings
from all sections. Any way to limit each TOC to include
information only from its own section (subdoc)?

Thanks.

Define a bookmark for the range to be included in the TOC. Then add \b
[BookmarkName] to the TOC field.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but it does not
seem to work--maybe because I am using outline headings
to generate the TOC instead of marking them manually?

No, that has no effect on this issue. If you've created a bookmark called
Chapter_01, your TOC field should look something like this:

{ TOC \o "1-3" \b Chapter_01 }

(You might have other switches in there like \h and \z).

You also need to update the TOC to pick up the changes.

Worked like a charm. Thanks very much. When I tried
this before, I inadvertantly inserted the \b switch
between another switch and its argument--stupid of me.
Thanks again
