A collection of TableOfAuthorities objects (TOA fields) that represents the tables of authorities in a document.

Use the Add method to add a table of authorities to a document. A table of authorities is built from TA (Table of Authorities Entry) fields in a document. The following example adds a table of authorities that includes all categories at the beginning of the active document.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=0, End:=0)
ActiveDocument.TablesOfAuthorities.Add Range:=myRange, _
    Passim:=True, Category:=0, EntrySeparator:= ", "

Use TablesOfAuthorities(Index), where Index is the index number, to return a single TableOfAuthorities object. The index number represents the position of the table of authorities in the document. The following example includes category headers in the first table of authorities in the active document and then updates the table.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  With ActiveDocument.TablesOfAuthorities(1)
    .IncludeCategoryHeader = True
    .Update
End With
