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.

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.
