Research direction

Start by tracing the TableOfContentsSwitches.F handling and the document insertion flow described in the issue. Determine whether DocX exposes field insertion before documents are merged, then verify that a TC field using the document title is preserved and resolved by the generated table of contents.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

My overall goal is to merge several documents together, with a table of contents at the beginning with links to each document.

I can add the table of contents, and I can insert the documents, but I can't figure out how to create TC fields for the table of contents to use.

The table of contents is using the switch

TableOfContentsSwitches.F, "p"

but I need to be able to insert a field with the text TC ""{documentTitle}"" \f p at the beginning of each document before I insert it, and I can't see any way to do that.

Is this possible, and if so, how?
