TOC for one section only

I want to create a TOC for each section, separately. It will be positioned
at the beginning of each section. I know how insert a regular TOC, but I'm
not sure how to do this for just one section. Do I highlight the section
first?
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
 
Investigate the RD (Reference Document) field. This lets you create your ToC
referencing a document and page range. Usually, it is used to create a ToC
from a separate document, but you can use it to limit the page range too
letting you have more than one ToC in a document.

Terry ... I'm close, but it's not quite happening.
I'm not entirely sure how to reference a section over more than one section.

I add the RD \f (the f switch tells it that the content is in the same
file). I added { SECTION } inside and outside of the TOC field, but it's not
working. It keeps giving me an error saying it cannot find the file on page
1.

Can you share a little more help.

As a little more info. I had a page that preceeds the section that I want
to create the TOC portion for, so I don't want to create the TOC for the
current section ... it'll be for the next section (and in some cases ... will
be for 3 sections that follow). Does that help you.
Thanks for you help. Diana
 
Disregard what Terry told you, which is intended for creating TOCs across
several documents. What you want is a TOC for a bookmark. See "Creating a
partial table of contents" in
