Creating an Automatic Table of Contents in a Table
Hi all!
I have a question and I'm not sure how to do this. I know how to create an automatic table of contents. I've done that in the past. I'm now wanting to do that automatic table of contents, but put it into a table. Here is a basic mock up. __________________________________________________ __________________ Section 1 __________________________________________________ __________________ Section Name | | __________________________________________________ __________________ Content Name | page # | BLANK | Header 3 |page # __________________________________________________ __________________ So there are 5 sections in the manual I am writing. Section 1 -5. In the header 1, we want the Section #. In Header 2, we want the actual name of the Section. Then in Header 3 we want the actual name of the content. It's a pretty long manual so the purpose of this is to shorten up a very long table of contents that takes 3 pages. Any input anyone has sure would be appreciated! |

To put a table of contents inside a table cell would be uncomplicated, but anything beyond that would require some "intervention." For example, it might be possible to create the table by using a VBA macro, presumably after first having unlinked the table of contents.

Thank you so much for the reply Stefan! I was messing around with it as well and I got into one cell easy peasey. I don't think it will warrant me going as far as VBA code, but I may give it a looksee just in case. I've suggested using a two column trick I saw on Youtube so we will see how that goes over.
Thanks so much again! |
