{ TC "Text" [Switches ] }

Defines the text and page numbers for entries in a table of contents and in lists of tables, figures, and similar contents.

Insert a TOC (Table of Contents) field where you want the contents in the document.

Microsoft Word indicates hidden text by underlining it with a dotted line.) and displays no result in the document.

\f Type

The type of items collected in a particular contents list. Use a unique Type identifier (typically a letter from A-Z) for each type of list. For example, to build a list of illustrations, mark each illustration with a field such as { TC "Illustration 1" \f i }, where "i" indicates only illustration entries. If no type is specified, the entry is listed in a table of contents.

\l Level

The level of the TC entry. For example, the field { TC "Entering Data" \l 4 } marks a level-4 entry, and Microsoft Word applies the built-in style (style: A combination of formatting characteristics, such as font, font size, and indentation, that you name and store as a set. When you apply a style, all of the formatting instructions in that style are applied at one time.) TOC 4 to that entry in the table of contents. If no level is specified, level 1 is assumed.

\n

Omits the page number for the entry.
