Table of Contents - WANT out of order
Folks: I wish to use a Table of Contents (TOC) and to have it show in a nested fashion (I can to do this). However, I wish some of the TOC references to refer to pages out of order. For example: ...
In Word, a table of contents always displays the headings in the page order.
What you are describing could be an index, but note that it will be in alphabetical order. You can create entries with subentries, if that helps.
- Thanks! The subentries are challenging to utilize. And, MOST of what I want is alpha order.
Any other options you can think of?- What if I add a TC Field?
That will allow me to NOT show some of the headings in the body of the document (ie: bananas)....that would be good, as all the text related to Bananas will be at the end of the document.
Now....how do I link my hidden TC field to the latter part of the document?
Can I use a REFERENCE field within the TC Field?
ie: If I referred to the text at page 104.
Would that show in the TOC as I've shown below?Although a TC field can be used to add entries that are not shown in the body of the document, the entries defined in that manner will still appear in page order in the table of contents.
