1. You can create multiple TOCs in a document using fields, table identifiers, or bookmarks. Fields are codes that perform actions like inserting a TOC.
2. To make separate TOCs, use the \o field switch to include only certain heading levels, or use table identifiers and TC fields to mark text for specific TOCs.
3. Bookmarks let you create TOCs for sequential or grouped text blocks by bookmarking the areas and using the \b switch in TOC fields.
