ods word with table of contents using proc(s)

[acordes]

I want ods to create a table of content. 

But it is empty. 

I'd like to reference in the TOC every table the proc generates. 

the trace on statement reveals the distinct tables:

And I have another challenge. How Do I output comments to the destination?

Imagine having a proc freq followed by a proc sgplot.

I want to add a comment lines BETWEEN the proc output so that I can guide the reader. 

ods word file="/caslibs/marketing/&tab._topn.docx" options(contents="on" toc_data="on" keep_next="on");
title "Top 10 Freq";
ods proclabel=" ";

proc cas;   action freqTab.freqTab /displayOut={names={"OneWayFreqs"="out2"}} 
tabDisplay={format= "list", maxLevels=10,missingFreq=false} order= "FREQ", 
descending=false,table={name="ALEX_PPNC_HIST_V1", caslib="&casy."}      
tabulate={'Mes_Actual', 'Codigo_marca', 'Mes_actual_poliza', 'Tipo', 'Tipo_de_tarifa_de_seguro', 'Num_Siniestros', 
'Top_modelo', 'Grupo_duracion_contrato', 'Meses_contables_operacion', 'Tipo_de_cliente', 'Estado_operacion', 'Poliza_cancelada', 
'Operacion_viva', 'Poliza_en_riesgo_informe_TAM', 'Anyo_Vencimiento_operacion', 'NIF_CIF'};
run;

ods word close;

Ok, with an ODS text="your text"; line I can add text between proc outputs.

In the generated docx I can select the table to "insert caption". Then I create a table of figures and it recognizes the different tables.

Can I force the tables to have caption, i.e. the pathname from the trace log?

I've seen that the ods pdf generates what I'm looking for.

But can ods word do the same?

Last time I checked ODS WORD is still not production.

I would recommend ODS RTF and then if a docx file format is required to use your word processor to change from RTF to docx.

Word does not automatically display the TOC.

1. Generate your word document.

2. press ctrl+a to select all (i.e., the entire document)

3. press f9

Note that Word doesn't automatically display the TOC when you open the document. You
can manually display the TOC by pressing CTRL+A F9 on your keyboard. Another Word tip:
If you jump f rom the TOC to the body of the report, then you can jump back to the TOC by
pressing ALT ←.
