Greetings All,



2 Issues:

1. I generated a table of contents withing a document BUT, this is for a legal document and I cannot change the current page numbers. SO... I generated the TOC at the end of the document. (So far, so good). HOWEVER, I want to COPY out the TOC and PASTE it into a blank document so I can print it out separately. Is this possible ?

2. Assuming #1 is a YES, Is there a way then to remove the page number from the TOC page ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated !

Thanks,

Lar

Assuming that you don't need the TOC in the new doc to update, copy and paste it to the new doc. You may wish to then select it and break the links, by pressing Ctrl+Shift+the F9 key. This will turn it into regular, unlinked text.

You can delete the TOC page in the old document entirely, if you no longer need it. However, if you simply wish to remove the page number, you'll need to insert a Next Page section break at the bottom of the previous page. Then, open the footer on the TOC page and, opening the Header and Footer tab that appears above the others, click on "Link to Previous" to unlink any changes you make to it from the rest of the preceding document. Then you may delete the page number.

PERFECT !

Thank you !

Hi Lar,

Why is your TOC at the end of the document? Setting up a document with one or more unnumbered pages at the front and the numbered pages starting at 1 after that is easily done.

Furthermore, if you don't need/want the TOC in the original document, simply use an empty new document with a TOC field and an RD field that points to the source document. That way you can have a permanently linked TOC (to capture updates)without ever touching the source document. See Word's Help file for details.
