Master Document With Table of Contents

[iyoung]

Hello,

I've been struggling for hours to create a Master document composed of multiple departmental reports that come to me in MS Word format.All of them are using different fonts, graphs, images, but it's important to keep the original formats. When I try to create a table of contents, everything gets messed up. Some random words from some of the reports pop up and there is nothing I can do - can't add any new ones, or delete those that I don't need.


I would seem to me that the table of contents is a pretty basic task and I don't really understand why it has to be so convoluted to create it. I've read all I could find on the Internet about fixing the problem - to no avail. Please somebody help!
