Table of Conents structure in PDF

Hello again-

We have been working to get our testing procedures for PDF's wrapped up, and one of the things that seems to be the most tricky to pin down is a Table of Contents. How should a Table of Contents be tagged in Acrobat's tag tree? We have not noticed much of a difference in some of the different markup approaches when we test. Is there a structurally and functionally "right" way to mark up a Table of Contents in Acrobat? Is the way that Word typically converts them to PDF acceptable, or is there more cleanup to do after that conversion has occurred?

Thanks a lot,

Rob Carr
