Subject:QUESTION: Pesky RD fields From:Stephen Riley <SRILEY -at- BCT-SYSTEMS -dot- CO -dot- UK> Date:Thu, 4 Dec 1997 17:01:08 -0000
Trying to build a TOC from Word 97 sub-documents.
I've started a clean doc (same template) referenced
the 4 docs on the first 4 lines in the form:
{ RD c:\\my documents\\docs\\chapter 1 test.doc}
using the Insert Field menu. Then build the TOC.
Result:
Error! Cannot open file referenced on page 1
for each referenced doc.
Can anyone see what I'm missing or advise how to
do this? Info in the archives refers to Word 6 and 7.
Does it work with 97?
