As Brian said, don't give up!

Not necessarily: There is another way. Try creating *condition tags* called "Revision A," "Revision B," etc., and assigning the appropriate condition to your heading text. You can then generate a list of conditional text markers that, with a little practice and formatting, can look just like the TOC you want. And here's the cool thing: In addition, you can use the <$condtag[hitag,...,lotag,nomatch]> building block in a Running H/F variable in your header to make the most recent revision on any given page appear in the header. This will take a little study of the User Guide and some experimentation for you to nail it down, but once you get it down, it'll be slick as eel sh... er, *stuff*! <g> 

Does that help, or did I completely misunderstand what you're trying to do?
