Question Automatic creation and population of tables, driven by style selection

Hi all, first post so be gentle with me!
I am using Word 2010 on a Win 7 PC (for work) and have an issue with a reasonable sized document that I produce on a regular basis.

The document is very text heavy analysis of a regular event which results in regular "Conditions", "Comments" and "Recommendations", (CC&Rs).
These CC&Rs are interspersed throughout the document but also collated together in three tables within the documents Executive Summary.

Currently, I produce the document then manually 'harvest' the CC&Rs an populate the table by hand (well, copy and paste), which is time consuming and a source of potential errors (particularly if one gets changed for any reason).
What I would like to do is set up styles for each of the CC&R types (I am happy with this part) and have the tables in the Exec Summary auto populate based on the selected styles.

I see the final tables containing the following information;


Comment, Ref No, page no.

I have tried to do this with a TOC but am unable to get the information formatted properly. I'm not averse to changing things if it makes them easier and quicker.
Many thanks in advance,

Steve J.

There are a number of ways to do this. Without knowing anything about your creation process it is difficult to advise which is beast for you, but see http://gregmaxey.com/Repeating_Data.htm

I would be inclined to think initially in terms of linked content controls.
