table of contents and RD field

Using Word 97.

I have a document that has been split into 2 for purposes
of emailing (reduced size).

The Table of Contents is in doc1 (with sections 1-4) but I
want to include sections 5-8 from doc2.  I have used the
RD field (referencing doc 2) in doc1 as follows:

{TOC \o "2-3 \t "Heading 1,1"}
{RD "doc2"}

with the following results

sections in order of:
5
6
7
8
1
2
3
4

I imagine I am doing some fairly basic thing wrong but do
not know what.

Any ideas?

Jane

usually (in your case), I'd setup a third document, insert RD-fields to
both doc1 and doc2 and then the TOC. You might get away with only two
documents if you put the RD-fields in the end of your doc1.doc, but
since I never tried this, I can only speculate whether this helps.

Bob,

It made perfect sense when I read your response to put the
RD at the end of the doc after the doc1 headings - some
days aren't meant for thinking clearly.  

(I have had success in the past with all RD fields in a
separate document but I needed to only have two docs here
as they are part of a larger contract and a doc of only
titles and TOC would confuse too many!!)

Thanks.

Jane

< grin > no problemo, in fact: some things with Word (and other
software, for that) may make perfect sense and get you nowhere!! ;-)

Well, I hope it works for you now... I usually make sure that folks who
get confused too easily with fields etc. stay clear from MY
Word-documents! ;-)
