Generating TOC in Word Doc

Hello,
I would like to know how to generate the TOC for the entire word doc using BIRT designer.
I am able to TOC to individual element in the layout but those TOCs are appearing to particular element only and not appearing at the start of the doc.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks,

Regards,
Sharad

The Bookmarks (TOC) will be automatically created for PDF.

If you want a true TOC page, you will have to script controls to populate their pagenumber in some global storage at Create and then the TOC controls can collect the values OnRender.

Hello Thuston,
Thanks for the example. I have gone through the same and found that it is not actually an TOC. It is a regular table with hyperlinks to various fields in the file. Actual TOC will have 'Update Field' and 'Edit Field' options in the right click as in the attached sample.

Also, I need to add all headings[upto level 3] present in my file to TOC.

Please let me know if my requirement is not clear. Thanks in advance.

Hello Nandha,
Page number option is available in Master Page however only header and footer of document can be modified in a Master Page view.

Can you tell me how did you add the below elements in TOC? also, are you getting Update Field' and 'Edit Field' options when you right click on below TOC?
Subject A
Subject B
Subject C

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Sharad,
Actually i need to add TOC on my final page of report(pdf) in the below format.
The subject (A,B,C) can be mentioned as static label but the contents for A,B,C is dynamically
retrieved from back end. After printing all the contents of A,B and C.. then the TOC should filled with respective page numbers and links for the respective content.
I have started to add tables and groups(TOC expression) and am not sure whether am in right bath
and expecting some help for this approach. Please give some instruction to take with this..

Subject A..........................1
Subject B..........................2
Subject C..........................3

Thanks
Nandha..

I have downloaded the zip-File and tried in my BIRT designer but they don't work for the 2.6.1. 
 
"TOC Report.rptdesign". On the preview tab I always get error like : 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>The following items have errors:

Data (id = 304):
+ There are errors evaluating script "var map = reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable("tocMap");

this.setDisplayValue(map.get(this.getValue()));":
