Update 27 June 2014: If you PDF your document using the Acrobat add-in, you’ll have clickable links for the main TOC, but not for this mini one, so place your cursor at the beginning of the first line of the mini TOC, right-click, then edit the field for the mini TOC so it looks like this: TOC \o “1-3” \h \z \u \b Section2 (“1-3” tells the mini TOC to display heading levels 1 to 3, and the bookmark name will vary according to which bookmark applies to this mini TOC).

If you want to create a fancy title for the mini TOC that reflects the Heading 1 of the section and you don’t want to repeat the Heading 1 in the mini TOC, then don’t select the Heading 1 when selecting the area for the bookmark.

To update the mini TOC, put your cursor anywhere in it, then press F9 (or right-click anywhere in the mini TOC and select Update field).

Repeat the steps above for all other sections where you want a mini TOC.

In this example, I just typed Section 2 on an empty line in front of the mini TOC, then styled it using Word 2010’s text effects ( Home tab, Font group)

Optional: You can make this section stand out by adding a title for it.

The mini TOC is inserted in front of the section heading:.

The complete field code, with bookmark switch and the bookmark name you typed, is shown in the Advanced field properties text box on the Field window.

NOTE: The space after the \b is critical - without it, your TOC won’t work however, your bookmark name should NOT have a space.

Add a space after \b, then type the name of the bookmark you created earlier, then click OK.

Hint: If you want to know what each switch does, click on it and read its Description.

On the Field Options window, select \b, then click Add to Field.

Click the Options button at the bottom left of the Field window to open the Field Options window.

Select TOC from the list of field names on the left, then click the Field Codes button.

Go to the Insert tab, click Quick Parts, then select Field.

Press Enter a couple of times to add some space for the mini TOC.

Go to a blank area in front of the section.

Unlike the normal TOC at the beginning of your document that builds the TOC based on just heading levels, your mini TOC is built on the bookmark you defined AND the heading levels within that bookmark (at least, I *think* that’s what’s going on!). Once you’ve set up your bookmark, you need to insert a TOC field in front of the section.

If you have the Show Bookmarks option turned on (and I suggest that you do), then you’ll see light gray square brackets around the bookmark.Give this bookmark a unique but meaningful name (I’ve called this one Section2), then click Add.Go to the Insert tab and select Bookmark.Select all the text in the section (this selection could cover several pages).We’ll create a mini TOC for this section (Section 2): Insert a TOC field that references that bookmark in front of the section.Insert a bookmark for the section you want to include in the mini TOC.The same sort of mini TOC can also be inserted in a Word 2003 document, but the steps to insert a bookmark and insert a field are different. The steps that follow are written for Word 2010, but they work equally well for Word 2007. These mini TOCs are in addition to the main TOC near the beginning of your document. If you have a very large Word document, with lots of chapters/sections and several levels of headings and subheadings, you might want to help your document’s readers by adding a ‘mini’ Table of Contents (TOC) in front of each section, just like the publishers of US textbooks have done for years.
