Re: Generate One TOC from multiple Word Docs

[Roberta Hennessey <rahennessey -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Thanks to the entire list for all your suggestions, comments, and humor (and
humour) regarding the one TOC for 2 docs issues. I had some time this
morning and used the RD code approach and it worked perfectly. Now I am
confident to pass on the solution to my co-worker.

Thanks again.
