TOC

Non-MailMerge field

{ TOC [ switches ] }

Builds the table of contents upon styles with set outline levels. Outline levels assigned to individual paragraphs are disregarded unless the \u switch is specified.

The TOC field supports the following switches:

Switch Description
\b Includes entries only from the portion of the document marked by the bookmark named by text in this switch’s field-argument.
\h Inserts table of contents entries as hyperlinks.
\n “LEVELSTART-LEVELEND” Omits page numbers from the table of contents. Page numbers are omitted from all levels unless a range of entry levels is specified. For example, { TOC \n 1-1 } omits page numbers from level 1.
\u Uses the applied paragraph outline level.
\o “LEVELSTART-LEVELEND” Builds a table of contents from paragraphs with specified outline levels. For example, { TOC \o “1-3” } lists only paragraphs with outline levels 1 through 3.
\t “STYLE,LEVEL, STYLE,LEVEL,…” Builds a table of contents from paragraphs formatted with specified styles. For example, {TOC \t”Title,1,subtitle,2,customtitle,3”} builds a table of contents from paragraphs formatted with the styles “Title”, “subtitle” and “customtitle”. The number after each style name indicates the entry level corresponding to that style.
\c “SEQ FIELD IDENTIFIER” Builds a table of contents from items that are numbered by SEQ fields. The sequence identifier designated by text in this switch’s field-argument shall match the identifier in the corresponding SEQ field.
\s “SEQ FIELD IDENTIFIER” For entries numbered with a SEQ field, adds a prefix to the page number. The prefix depends on the type of entry.
\d “SEPARATOR SYMBOL” When used with \s, defines the separator between sequence and page numbers. The default separator is a hyphen (-).
\f “TC IDENTIFIER” Builds a table of contents from TC fields. TC field identifier must exactly match the text in this switch’s field-argument.
\l “LEVELSTART-LEVELEND” Used with \f key. Includes TC fields that assign entries to one of the specified levels.
