Default Extend a Table of Contents to include a new column

Hi,

I would really like to create a ToC which includes a completion date column for each row of the ToC (my document is a training record).

Each section of the training document has a training topic which consists of a 'Title' and the contents, therefore the ToC would ideally have three columns, Title, Page Num and then a space to populate the completion date.

In the past I have hard-coded the page numbers, but this quickly gets out of date following any change to the document overall. An automatically generated ToC, 'nearly' get me to where I want to be but doesn't provide for a completion record.

Any ideas?
TIA.

A TOC cannot be made to work that way.

You could, however, create a 3-column table, inserting cross-references to the headings and their page #s in the first two columns, leaving the third column for the completion dates. The cross-references will update in the same way as TOC entries would, but you wouldn't get the automatic addition/deletion of headings that a TOC gives you.

Hi Paul,

thanks for your reply. I rather suspected that this may be the case....

Simon.
