One issue that has been sorely lacking in content is that of adding \/ updating TOCs in WordprocessingML documents.\u00a0 I’m starting a series of screen-casts around this issue, and I’ve just posted the first in the series.\u00a0 The first video walks through the markup for a table of contents.\u00a0 It explains how the TOC can (but is not required to) be in a content control, and why you would want to put it in a content control.\u00a0 It discusses how fields in WordprocessingML are used to represent a TOC.\u00a0 The video dissects field markup, and explains how fields can be nested (and always are nested in the case of a TOC).<\/p>\n
