[AccessD] Creating a TOC from data

Could you push the data into Word, using specific fonts for the different
levels of the TOC then trigger the TOC feature and delete the data you
pushed in?

Actually sounds like you created a simpler solution.

Rocky,

IMC, I didn't have a real document, just data that I wanted in a TOC format.

Susan:

I used the TOC feature in Access and it is truly slick.  You have to do some
pre-planning so that the heads, sub-heads, sub-sub-heads, etc. use a
consistent font.  Then you tell the TOC generator what kind of font
represents which level. Whenever I make changes to the manual, regenerating
the TOC is just a few clicks.  Makes a beautiful TOC with bullets and
everything. 

I also did the same for the list of figures and tables.  I can send you a
copy off line if you're interested.

John, have you considered exporting the query results to Word and using its
features? Doesn't word have a TOC feature? I've never used it, so maybe I'm
goofy.

Doris,

Yea, that is what I did, straight in an Access report.  I had to go with a
monospace font to allow everything to line up correctly but it is working.
