Sorry for the delayed response -



All replies were extremely helpful - I went from not knowing anything about a Table of Contents, to having what I need mostly fleshed out.

One more question: In my actual document the pages are numbered by section (ex: 9-1, 10-1, 11-1, 11-2, etc) - but my TOC only reference the actual page number - at the end of the leading dots it shows (page) 1, (page) 2.

How do I edit my TOC to reference the section numbers instead of the page numbers???

You do not edit your TOC. To get the results that you want you have to create your page numbers in the document accordingly (Section 1 begins at 1-1, Section 2 at 2-1, etc.). Doing that, your page numbers have to be setup to include (1) the Section/Chapter number; (2) a "section break" at the end of each section; (3) the "Link to Previous" option is NOT linked between sections.

Before you do your complete document, I would suggest that you do the first two sections...then update the TOC to make sure what you are trying to achieve is actually there.

That is my thoughts. Other posters may offer a better solution.

Hope this helps...
