Creating a Table of Contents on a Separate Word Doc

Currently, I have four word documents, each one its own table of contents.

I would like to create a "Master" table of contents that combines the four
documents (even though these four documents are separate).

Is this possible to do?
Thanks!

If you intend that the separate document should show four separate TOCs,
each a copy of the one in its original document, then place a bookmark to
enclose the TOC in each original document. Use IncludeText fields
(containing the bookmark names) to display copies of them in the combined
document.

If what you want is a single TOC covering all four documents, then at the
beginning of the separate document, insert an RD field (RD stands for
"Referenced Document") for each of the other files. Then insert the table of
contents.

If you want the page numbers to run continuously through the combined TOC,
you'll have to set the starting page number manually in each document except
the first -- otherwise the TOC will show page numbers that restart at 1 for
each document (or maybe that's what you want?).

will this work even though each individual document has its own TOC?
