  • Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q79750

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.

To display a bookmark in a table of contents, follow these steps:

  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 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, and 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.
