Table of Content & Reporting Tools

[Vsridharan]

Hi All,

Is there any way to get the table of contents with the page number updated on it. I have a workflow that uses reporting tools to generate a word document but the issue is that i am currently manually updating page numbers and that seems to be inefficient as more and more content is added.

I am currently able to get page numbers using the footer tool but not sure if I can connect that somehow to the table of contents to update the page row for numbers.

I am also looking at the possibility of hyperlinking the page of that document to make it clickable, open to suggestions and ideas for getting the updated page number and making it clickable.

Thanks,

V

Hi @Vsridharan,

The reporting tools do not have the functionality to add a table of contents. The workaround I can think of would be to use a Python tool to add a table of contents to the Word doc after it's created. I haven't tried this, but this example code looks promising: https://www.e-iceblue.com/Tutorials/Python/Spire.Doc-for-Python/Program-Guide/Document-Operation/Pyt...
