Several Tables of Contents (sort of like sub tables?) in one docum

I have a document that I expect will end up being around 60-75 pages. It's a
cookbook divided into sections. I want a TOC for each section but can't
figure out how to do it. When I insert a TOC it goes through the entire
document and I want TOCs for each section.

There are real sections with headers, footers, etc. Any help would be
appreciated.
 
Thanks to both of you, but I must be doing something wrong. I found other
posts that said to use the \b after defining a bookmark but I can't seem to
get it to work. I get the error:

ERROR! NOT A VALID HEADING LEVEL RANGE.

Here is my code:

{TOC \B APPETIZERS \O "RECIPEHEADING,1"}

I also tried these and they don't work either as it pulls entries from the
entire document

{TOC \h \z \t \b"RecipeHeading,1" }

{TOC \h \z \t \b Appetizers "RecipeHeading,1" }

"Appetizers" is the bookmark and "RecipeHeading" is the name of the style.
 
Well, the bookmark name must follow the \b switch and the style name the \t
switch. The \o switch is valid only for numbers of built-in headings. So
what should work is this:

{TOC \h \z \t "RecipeHeading,1" \b Appetizers }

or

{TOC \h \z \b Appetizers \t "RecipeHeading,1" }

For more on TOC switches, see the Help topic "Field codes: TOC (Table of
Contents) field" and/or the article at

Glad I could help, and interesting that the order of the switches matters,
given that in many fields it doesn't. I certainly consider the latter field
more logical, though.
