Second table of contents in a document

[Guest]

I have a large Word document with a 4-level table of contents. Since the
4-level TOC is 31 pages long, I want to add a second "summary" TOC with just
the Heading 1 entries. I can do this by doing an Insert > Reference > Index
and Tables > Table of Contents and almost everything works fine. I would like
to have a title at the beginning of the summary TOC, like "Table of Contents
- Summary". The problem is that Word insists on placing a page break before
the beginning the the new TOC, thus leaving my title as the only thing on the
page.

Any suggestions?

Do you have all your TOC styles formatted as "Keep with next"? Try
formatting your TOC title as "Page break before" and remove the KWN
formatting from the lowest-level TOC style.

Suzanne - Setting both Keep With Next and Page Break Before on the TOC title
style did the trick - thanks for your suggestion.

I have a second problem. I have the Level 1 TOC entries numbered in both the
summary and detail TOC. I want to restart the numbering at 1 for the second
(detailed) TOC. When I place the cursor over the first level number in the
second TOC, right click and select Restart Numbering, the list is renumbered
starting at 1 momentarily and then resets to the original number, in this
case 61.

Any thoughts?

I think in this case I would make an end run around the problem by using a
lower-level unused TOC style for Heading 1 in the second TOC. Format TOC 6
(or whatever) the same as TOC 1 and map Heading 1 to it.

Suzanne - I don't know what you mean by mapping Heading 1 to TOC 6. I can't
get to the Font Substitution dialog because all of the fonts used in the
document are available.

I mean that in the TOC Options dialog, you type a 6 (instead of a 1) beside
Heading 1; this causes TOC 6 to be used for Heading 1 in that TOC. This has
nothing to do with font substitution.

Suzanne - That doesn't seem to work. There is something else going on here.
If I delete one of the TOCs so I only have one and attempt to restart the
numbering in the middle of the list, I get the same behavior. The selected
number momentarily changes to 1 and then back to its previous number.
