Table of contents for different documents

[suroora]

A colleague of mine has set up a TOC for a book with chapters. Each chapter
is a separate Word document, and the TOC is in a separate document. This is
proper TOC, not manually typed in. What is odd is that the page numbers work
for some and not for others. I've looked at the styles in both cases, and
they all look the same. I didn't think you could have a TOC in another
document. Do you have any idea why it's working for some and not for others?

Thanks,
Suroor

You can have a TOC in a separate document if it contains RD fields that
reference the source documents. To see these fields, enable the display of
hidden text.

Note that when using RD fields, you must manually set the starting page
number for each referenced document, or you can use the solution presented
here:
