TOC in HTML Frames

[jhelkins]

In Word 2003 I could save a document as HTML. I could put the Table of
Contents in a Frame where each entry in the TOC was a link to the place in
the text. I did this with the "format" command on. I can't find this
capability in Word 2007. Does anybody know where it is?

Frame commands aren't in the Ribbon by default but they are available.
Right-click your Quick Access Toolbar and then click Customize Quick Access
Toolbar. From the Choose Commands From List, select Commands Not In The
Ribbon. There you'll find Frames and Frame Properties.

Thanks, Beth.

I also discovered that I could replace the regular TOC with a linked TOC.
This is really what I wanted to do in the first place. The advantage of the
frame, however, is that I don't necessarily lose my place in the main text.
Frames, however, are deprecated in modern HTML.

Yep, they've been depreciated which is why they aren't in the Ribbon by
default.

For your viewing and navigation, have tried the Document Map? You can turn
it on using the View tab. This places a pane to the left of the document
that you can use for navigation similar to your TOC.

Is there a way I can create something like the Document Map in an html
format? I'd love to have a frame to the left with the TOC (like Document
Map) and the actual content in the main frame. Do you know a way?
