{RD 05_Vol_I_Body}

Hi Stephanie,

Your RD field needs to specify with full path & filename of the document it refers to. For example:
{RD "C:\\My Documents\\My Memoirs\\01_Vol_I_Cover.doc"}
or
{RD "C:\\My Documents\\My Memoirs\\01 Vol I Cover.doc"}
as appropriate.

Note the double backslashes for the path separators. You could use single forward slashes instead.

Thankes, macropod. Now...

What if I move the documents? At the moment, I'm working of my I: drive
(memory stick). Eventually, they will move to a network drive. The TOC
still needs to work. What say you about that?

Hi Stephanie,

The path references will need to be changed. There are three ways you can go about this:
1. Press Alt-F9 to expose the field codes, then use Find/Replace;
2. Use my Field Link Updater, at: http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/showthreaded.pl?Number=261488; or
3. If the files will be kept in the same folder, or a set with the same relative path names, you can use the technique I've outlined
