WD: Using Bookmarks in a Table of Contents

ID: Q189043

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
Microsoft Word for Windows 95, versions 7.0, 7.0a

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Word for Windows, you can use a bookmark as the text argument in a table of contents entry (TC) field; this causes the bookmark to become part of the table of contents.

MORE INFORMATION

NOTE: You cannot insert the bookmark field by pressing CTRL+F9 in the Field Code box of the Insert Field command; therefore, the following procedure is more efficient than using the Insert Field command for entering a table of contents entry that references a bookmark.

The following procedure outlines a method for displaying a bookmark in a table of contents:

1. Press CTRL+F9 to insert field braces at the location in the

   document where you want the table of contents entry to appear.

   NOTE: If the bookmark is in the header or footer section of the
   document, the TC field must be entered in the main body of the document.

2. Type "TC " (without the quotation marks) Be sure to press the

   SPACEBAR to create a space after TC.

3. Press CTRL+F9 to insert a second set of field braces, then type the

   bookmark name. The resulting TC field should appear as follows:

      {TC {bookmark_name}}

4. Add any additional TC field switches or instructions after the

   bookmark field.

For more information about the TC field, search for "Table of Contents" using the Word for Windows Help menu.
