Field code not seen before

[LittleAnn]

Can anyone explain to be what the following field code is allocated to do as
I have never seen this type before and was just interested in finding out its
uses and what each letter and number "5" signifies:

{ TC "Drawing List" \f C \l "5" }

{ TC "Glossary" \f C \l "5" }

Thanks

Those are TC (table of contents entry) fields; they are visible when you
display hidden text.

{ TC "Drawing List" \f C \l "5" } means that "Drawing List" should be a
level 5 TOC item in a table of contents created with { TOC \f C } or { TOC
\f }; it won't be listed in, say, a table of contents created with the
{ TOC \f B } code.

In other words, the \f switch allows you to choose a *specific* TOC which
should include the TOC entry.

I should also have mentioned that TC fields are inserted when you mark text
to be included in a TOC; this is done via the Mark Table of Contents Entry
dialog box (press Alt+Shift+O to display it) or by manually inserting the TC
fields in text.

Note: Since TC fields are formatted as hidden, it is a good idea to display
hidden text when you want to work with them.
