How to extract nested TOC content

Question

Hi ,

I have a document where TOC has nested TOC(TOC within TOC). And at every operation on document I will do ActiveDocument.Fields.Update(). But It is updating only the outer TOC part. This code is not reaching to nested TOC. so to update nested TOC fields i need to extract nested TOC. Can any one suggest me how to extract nested TOC content.

Thanks,

Gayatri

Hi GayatriK,

you can try to create object of particular toc and try to loop through its fields.

something like below.

 Word.Document document = this.Application.ActiveDocument;

  Word.TableOfContents oneToC = document.TablesOfContents[1];
            oneToC.Range.Select();
            foreach (Word.Field f in document.Fields)
            {
                if (f.Type == Word.WdFieldType.wdFieldTOC)
                {
                    f.Select();
                    MessageBox.Show( f.ToString());
                    break;
                }
            }

Reference:

TablesOfContents Object (Word)
