create table of contents using headers

[seanseaghan]

Hi,

I am not having any luck using individual headers to create a table of
contents in a word.doc. Can this be done?

Thanks.

HeadINGs, not headERs. See

Thanks for the response - I am OK with headings, that works fine. But
in the same word.doc, I also want to use wording contained in headers
as well. Thanks again.

Header text cannot be included in a TOC. The purpose of a TOC (even if you
omit page numbers) is to list what page a given heading appears on. Since
headers by definition appear on more than one page, this is not possible.

This is not possible, but you can do it the other way around: Insert a
STYLEREF field in the header to include (say) the current Heading 1
paragraph.
