Re: Table of Conents structure in PDF

Different versions of Word generate different TOC tag structures but
generally speaking they work well once converted to PDF.

However, a couple of small things to be aware of:

(1) footnotes can interfere with TOC links that go to destinations other
than the top of a page (the fix for this lies in the footnote, not the TOC
by the way), and

2) you should avoid TOC entries that span more than one line, or be prepared
to edit the tags in Acrobat to fix the resulting problems
