Advanced ToC problem (possibly)

Default Advanced ToC problem (possibly)

Hi all,

Have the following layout:

HTML Code:
Header 1: blabla
 Header 2: Topic 1
  Header 3: Action Items
   (text) AI 1
   (text) AI 2
 Header 2: Topic 2
 Header 2: Topic 3
  Header 3: Action Items
   (text) AI 1
I would like to make a Table of Contents (or something similar) with the Action Items, to have an overview of what needs to be done:



Most preferable output would be

HTML Code:
Action items
 Topic 1 - 2 item(s)
 Topic 3 - 1 item(s)
But anything that lets me know the topics under which i have (one or more) action item is a success

Problem is, how to exclude the topics that have no action items
Or better yet, can I somehow get a count of action items that I have for each topic ?

Limitations:
The document structure is not set in stone, if another format would make my life easier, I could switch
Preferably no macros/add-ins, etc.

If you are saying that you want a way to quickly insert a TOC, you can create an example TOC and then save it as an AutoText entry.

I want a way to update a 2 level ToC, but if the ToC level 2 is empty, I don't want to show the ToC level 1 either

This is my main problem (I did a little digging, and it seems that getting the count of Action Items is not possible without macros/vba)

I believe you are right: programming will be required. If you don't get an answer here, try reposting in a programming forum.

Then I guess I'll just wait a couple more days for confirmation, and then I'll look for an alternative sollution
