Multiple ToC within a Document

[Markb384]

Hi guys. Noobie to this forum, so apologies if I have broken any etiquette etc.

I have a reasonably large document in the following structure, split up using section breaks...

group of tables (one per page)


bulk of text
list of appendices (around 30), approximately 1-2 pages each

At the very start, in an ideal world, I would like a Table of Contents which looks like the following, where italics highlight text which isn't currently listed as text within the document, and non-italics are headings and other styles I have added.

Competency Tables
....Table 1
....Table 2
Heading 1
....Heading 2
Heading 1
....Heading 2
Evidence
....Appendix 1
....Appendix 2

The first solution I had for this was trying to create the header in the table section and appendix section into styles and added them to the table of contents cascade (in a similar I had edited the table and appendix style to a custom). I couldn't get this to work unfortunately, and with hindsight, with the header being on every page of that section, I'm not sure how it would have worked out if I did.

So my second solution involved adding manual text. The italicised parts of the ToC above don't really need page numbers, therefore I added manual text in the document immediately prior to the ToC which worked perfectly for Competency Tables. However, I couldn't add text in the middle of the ToC to say Evidence. My solution to this was to remove the appendix style from the ToC, add more manual text and then create a new ToC immediately below with only the appendix style being shown. In my head, this was a fool-proof plan, but in reality, Word just replaced my 1st ToC with the 2nd.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get around this? Either using multiple tables, or even another suggestion I haven't considered.

Thank you very much

Hi guys, double post sorry, but I have solved my own problem.

I applied bookmark settings to each part of the document and then edited the ToC header to incorporate "\b Evidence" (for example). Then I was able to create a pair of tables with different information in each one.
