Table of contents on Word table

by dnobles Feb 19, 2008 10:12PM PST

I have a document with roughly 200 pages, most of which is a table. I'm trying to create a Table of Contents using the selected values in the first column. Unfortunately, in the table of contents Word puts the values/text for the entire row.
