Hi Holly,

Did you open the document from within Word or from within an explorer
window?

Word does NOT detect the root location of the file if you open with an
explorer window. The {RD} Fields should be linked to files in the same
directory.

For example, Your TOC page is in the main directory, then all the
documents that you linked to are in the same directory. However, if you
opened the document from a Windows Explorer window, the RD codes think
they are looking at the default opening directory for Word.

Close the file and reopen it from inside word (via manual navigation),
and the RD fields should work.

Subject: Outline generation

Hello

I have many chapters and am trying to bring them together into one
document
without using the Master Document feature. I tried INCLUDE TEXT and it
didn't work. I got an error message saying that the computer doesn't
have
enough memory to display the images and it also said that one of my
tables
is corrupt.

My strategy now is to create a giant PDF of all the chapters and deliver
it
to the client that way. The problem is that I need a TOC.

I tried RD fields, but for some reason (unknown to me) my computer says
that
it can't can't find those files. I even opened a document that I had
created
with RD fields that worked last week, but it didn't work yesterday.

Did I ever tell you how much I love Word :)

So I would like to know if it is possible to use Adobe PDF to generate a
TOC
of all the chapters I grab. Has anyone tried this?

Thanks

Holly
