Word 2007 TOCs Bookmarks

[LPS]

I am creating a chaptered manual and at the start of each chapter I would
like to have a separate Table of Contents. I have used the Heading styles to
format my chapters (Heading1, Heading2, Heading3).

According to a tutorial I found through the on-line Help, I should be able
to select all of the text in a chapter and assign it a bookmark name. Then
at the location where I want the TOC for that chapter to appear, I press
<CTRL+F9> and enter TOC \b bookmark-name (between the squiggly brackets). I
did this for my first chapter and it worked, but I cannot get it to work for
subsequent chapters. Am I doing somthing wrong? If possible, I would prefer
to use the bookmark method to generate multiple TOCs as opposed to using the
TC field code for each heading.

I am trying to do this inside a text box.

Please advise. All help is greatly appreciated.

The problem is the text box. Place the TOC field inside, say, a table cell
instead.

Thank you SO MUCH, Stefan. Just one more question and then I think I am
set... the TOC field code...if i want to restrict the TOC to the first 3
levels and reference the bookmark, do I write it as"

{ TOC \o "1-3"\b bookmark-name }

OR

{ TOC \b bookmark-name\o "1-3" }

I have tried both and only get the first line of the TOC generated.

Try { TOC \o "1-3" \b bookmark-name } or
{ TOC \b bookmark-name \o "1-3" }

Indeed, the spacing might be crucial with Word fields.

Or to clarify: the absence or presence of *spaces* is crucial.
