WD: Using Bookmarks in a Table of Contents

• 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 . 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.
