Hi,

I'm looking for a field function to generate a list of all bookmarks and their corresponding chapter. The Chapters are in the right formatting and a normal TOC works just fine.


Best would be in form of a table like:
If nobody can help me that way, I'm pretty good with python and can use the win32com to communicate with word, so if anyone knows how to determine the chapter of a current selection I can generate the tables myself.

Any help greatly appreciated

This is more complex than you might imagine. Word does not track "Chapters" as such. Your chapters are probably (I would hope) designated by a multilevel list linked to heading styles.

To do this you would need to find the bookmark and then relate that to the previous heading.

The macro at https://www.msofficeforums.com/vba/1...bookmarks.html may help you get a start. Also Greg Maxey and Graham Mayor have bookmark utilities on their sites that might give you help.

Yes,
my chapters are a multilevel list with heading styles, don't know any other useable way of creating a TOC ;-)

Listing all bookmarks was no problem with python, but getting the chapter-information is.

Going to check the homepages of the two out, hopefully I'll find something useful

Thank you

Perhaps you could explain why you're doing this. There may be a better way to achieve the desired result.
