create a list of referenced outline numbers

[Guest]

I have used the font style to designate a list of requirements that are
spread throughout the document as a certain style type. I am wanting to
reference this as a list preferably in a table, but regardlesss, at the
begining of the document but by only listing the outline numbers not the text
after it. To show what section they can each be found in but not list the
words themselves.

eg. 1 Heading one
1.1 Heading two
1.1.1 Heading three
1.1.1.1 Requirement blah blah blah
1.1.1.2 Requirement blah blah blah
2 Heading one
2.1 Heading two
2.1.1 Heading three
2.1.1.1 Requirement blah blah blah
2.1.1.2 Requirement blah blah blah
2.1.1.3 Requirement blah blah blah

I want to make a list that would read
1.1.1.1
1.1.1.2
2.1.1.1
2.1.1.2
2.1.1.3

Does anyone know if this is possible?

I have tried using a TOC but custom styles still lists all the words aswell
and TOC using entries you mark yourself won't alow you to mark the outline
numbers or a blank space next to them.

Any ideas would be appreciated as I can't find much on this at all.

One way is to insert cross-references to the paragraph numbers. Of course,
for this "TOC" you would have to manually reorder and delete items (since
each cross-reference references a particular paragraph).

A better option (which still requires some manual work) is to insert TC
fields (which are used when you mark text) manually and include
cross-references with these fields. You could then create a TOC based on
fields as usual.

Before you try this, make sure to display hidden text (in Word Options).
Then proceed as in this example:

1 This is a Heading 1 paragraph

In the following paragraph, do this: Press Ctrl+F9. Within the field
delimiters, { }, inserted by Word, type TC. Then insert a cross-reference to
the heading number (via the Cross-Reference dialog box). Then type \l 1
(where "l" is uppercase L and "1" is the number one); this indicates the
heading level. Repeat for additional headings, specifying the desired level.

When you are done, all you have to do is update the cross-reference fields
before updating the TOC.

Thanks. It does seem to do the job.
But you are right it is very manual to enter it into every one just to make
a list somewhere.
But thanks alot for the feed back
