automatic table of contents

Cristina_inet — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 10:48:16 GMT

Good morning,
We are generating in SAS an RTF file in which we are creating a table of contents.
For the table of contents to appear we have to select the entire document and press F9.
The important thing is that we want to remove that manual, we want the automatic table of contents to come out.
Do you know any way to do it? thanks greetings

 ods rtf text= "~S={outputwidth=100% just=l}{\field{\*\fldinst {\\TOC \\f \\h} } }";
ods RTF text="{\tc {\b\fs18\ql {Tabla &v_num..- MATRICULACIONES POR TIPOS DE VEHÍCULOS} \par}}";run;

The Table of Contents will not automatically be populated. You will need to do this as documented below:

produces a table of contents page for RTF documents that are opened in Microsoft Word. The table of contents page contains a Table of Contents field, which puts all of the contents information that is embedded in the document into a table of contents. To expand the table of contents, right-click under the title in Microsoft Word and select Update Field from the selection list.

If you have XCMD enabled and are trying to automate a process I would write a VBS or PowerShell script that automated this and then run it at the end.

Thank you very much for the reply.
What we need is that the rtf report appears with the index/table of contents without updating the file when opening it.
In the link you sent me you have to update the references.

Thank you very much for your answer.
For security, XCMD is not activated in our SAS.

we can't run scripts.
