Insert Table of Contents Based on Bookmarks!

[Guest]

Hello. In developing a new page, we have inserted multiple bookmarks and
heading styles, throughout our HTML documents. Is there a way to get
FrontPage to insert an HTML Table of Contents, based on bookmarks, complete
with links to the bookmarks. This would save us a tremendous amount of time.

MS Word has the very utility we require but it does not translate into
FrontPage. For example, when you use Word to create a table of contents,
based on custom Styles (Insert > Reference > Index and Tables > Table of
Contents > Options...), it inserts bookmarks like: #_Toc122856686. It would
be nice if it would use the bookmark name already on the element to which the
style was applied OR generate a bookmark, based on the text to which the
style was applied.

For example, if the top-level header is defined as a style called
"customheaders1" then finding <p class="customheaders1">Welcome</p> in a
document would result in a top-level element being added to the Table of
Contents and a bookmark addition of <p class="customheaders1"><a
name="Welcome"> Welcome</a></p>

Thanks

No tool I am aware of
Copy your headings to the top of the page and change the anchor tags to links

Yeah, no. We've got massive sites that require a Table of Contents on many,
many pages. It would cost us less to have someone develop an add-in. Where
do I make a suggestion to Microsoft or others to create such a thing? It
would be very helpful.

You can do it yourself in VBA in FP

Your code in VBA would read all the pages for anchor links (bookmarks) and then writes a section in the top of the page w/ the links
to the bookmarks as a list
