{ RD "FileName"}

Identifies a file to include when you create a table of contents, a table of authorities (table of authorities: A list of the references in a legal document, such as references to cases, statutes, and rules, along with the numbers of the pages the references appear on.), or an index (index: A list of the words and phrases that are discussed in a printed document, along with the page numbers they appear on.) with the TOC, TOA, or INDEX field. You must manually set starting page numbers and sequence values in files named in RD fields before updating the TOC, TOA, or INDEX field. The RD field doesn't display a result in the document. You cannot unlink an RD field.

The RD field is formatted as hidden text (hidden text: Character formatting that allows you to show or hide specified text. Microsoft Word indicates hidden text by underlining it with a dotted line.). To view this field, click Show/Hide .

Security  Because content that is formatted as hidden text can easily be made visible, do not use hidden text formatting to keep sensitive information private.

 Note   RD fields that reference a series of files must be in the same order as the files in the final document. For example, files Chap1 and Chap2 both have an index entry (index entry: A field code that marks specific text for inclusion in an index. When you mark text as an index entry, Microsoft Word inserts an XE (Index Entry) field formatted as hidden text.) for "apricot" on the first page. The first page number in Chap1 is 1, and the first page number in Chap2 is 100.

• The sequence {RD Chap2} {RD Chap1} results in the index query "apricot 100, 1".

• The sequence {RD Chap1} {RD Chap2} results in the index query "apricot 1, 100".
