Not getting into specifics, but I would use the general TOC instead, perhaps with TC fields or special styles. It is much more flexible.

Thanks Charles!

This might be a daft question, but is it possible to enable two separate TOC's (with different styles)? I will have one in the beginning as the actual table of contents.

A document will use the TOC styles for any TOC in the document.
It may be that you could use levels 1-5 in one TOC and levels 6-9 in another.


I am unsure that I understand what you mean by two different styles.

Thanks Charles - I still can't figure it out. Might have to hire an DTP expert on fiverr...

I meant that the document already has a Table of Contents at the beginning. I'm guessing that as long as we identify different styles to pick up, we can create a second Table of Contents in the Appendix to cover other topics.

If you know of anyone you can recommend, please let me know. At my wits end...
