Word: Have the TOC be a separate window to allow quick "jump".

[Guest]

I create large documents and am "jumping" around them. It would be great if I
could have Word have the TOC as a separate window that I could click on a
Heading number and the document would jump to that section.

Nice thought, Wayne, but I believe what you are asking is to be able to do
something in one window & have it affect the content in another without
affecting itself. AFAIK, that is a limitation of the OS, not any one specific
program.

There are probably VBA workarounds to accomplish the feat, but in the
meantime, have you tried using the Document Map? (View>Document Map). If your
TOC entries are based on Styles, it should give you pretty much what you are
looking for.

In addition, recent versions of Word have a GoToTOC button that you can add
to the toolbar. As the name suggests, this button takes you to the TOC.
Clicking on a TOC entry takes you back to the given heading.
