Table of contents... but in a table

[Andrew Harder]

I've got a report of issues and related recommendations,
and I want to automatically generate a summary table.
Issue headings are level 2 and recommendation headings are
level 3.

The output would look something like this:

Issue Recommendation
Issue 1 R1
R2
R3
Issue 2 R4
Issue 3 R5

This is SO CLOSE to what word does with the Table of
Contents anyway... I just need it formatted into a table.

Any ideas?

Why do you need it in a table?

Heading 2 are issues, Heading 3 are recommendations to
address the issues. I want them in a summary table so the
relationship between the two is more immediately clear.

I'm still not clear on why you couldn't use ordinary TOC formatting to do
this. Among the things you can do this way:

1. Set TOC 2 to "Keep with next."

2. Make TOC 2 larger and bold.

3. Omit page numbers from TOC 2 if desired.

4. Indent TOC 3 more than TOC 2 (this is the default, but you can increase
the indent).
