I am trying to do an infomemo in Word (XP) and it doesn't seem to have the
options to put an Appendices table of contents in, only "table of
contents/authorities/figures". Does anyone know how I can do this, it was so
much easier in office 97/98 and 2000. You could set the whole thing up and
call a table what you wanted e.g. "table of exhibits" instread of "table of
figures" etc.

I'm sure I'm missing something very obvious but I just can't seem to find it!
 
You can create a TOC anywhere and of anything you want. If the titles of the
appendices use a heading level otherwise unused, then just create a TOC
using that level. Otherwise, bookmark the TOC and create a TOC including
that bookmark. For more, see

I think your memory is playing tricks on you. This works precisely the same
way in Word 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003. You insert a bookmark to cover the
part of the document for which you want a separate table of contents, and
then you use the \b switch in the TOC field. See the section "A partial
table of contents" in http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TOCSwitches.htm.
 
It sounds as if in the earlier versions you had set up at least one new
label ("exhibit") using the Insert>Caption command, and then were able to
build a TOC of all items captioned with that label using the options
available when using Insert>Index and Tables. If that is the case, you may
have overlooked the step where you create the new label using Insert>Caption
when you upgraded to XP.

Hope that helps
