Cheers Gene.  It seems we are using different versions perhaps, as mine
doesn't have what you describe.  My version is 3.0.1 on Debian Squeeze.  
When I follow your suggestion, there is a very long list with entries
such as "Chart data" through "Presentation Wizard Page 5" to "Formula
Bar".  The 3rd one down in the list is "Master Document" and I can see
nothing with "Create a table of contents" as its text, either in part or
full.  Nor does writing that text into Find yield anything useful.

Thanks

AG
