Track Changes to Long MS Word Document TOC???
Question for you MS Word experts.
Edit: Finally got it all to post. I do not know what was wrong.
I have a long 100+ page document. I will be making a number of changes (25 to 30) to the document. I know how to use the track changes and compare two documents features in Word. What I want to do is create a Table of Contents or index (not sure which will work best) or maybe even a footnote to track the changes. I do not think I can use bookmarks because as I understand it bookmarks do not follow the text, but stay on the same page (like turning down the corner of a page in a paper book)
I know how to create a TOC using headings styles -- the document current has one. The current TOC and page numbering will of course be a "change" -- so the 25 changes become 200+ when the additions and deletes in the "Reviewing Pane" are displayed. A few years ago I create a TOC using manual field codes.
Questions: What is the best way to create a list of the changes so the reader can quickly find the changes?
Must I create the list (TOC) manually or is there a way to display only the changes?
If I use footnotes, can I create the TOC of the footnotes? How? As a test, I tried to use the footnote style in a TOC but I could not get the footnotes to show up. The Heading 1 and Heading 2 worked OK. I have the footnote style set as a level 1 TOC -- the same as the Heading 1
