Do I have to put the macro to recalculate the TOC in all fields on the form
to make sure the users activate it or just add it to the last field on the
form? Thanks!

I added the macro to the last form field and it is leaving the
contents entered and most of the TOC seems to work properly, but I
can't select the Table of contents when the form is protected. Is
this the way it is supposed to work? Sorry to be such a pain, but as
you can guess, I'm not too familiar with Table of Contents and Form
Outlines.
Thanks for the help!

Fields in the document will update if you check the calculate on
exit check box of the last field to be tabbed out of. TOC updates
require a bit more effort. Run the following macro on exit froma
form field. It will unlock the form, update the TOC, and relock the
form without destroying the content entered into the field.
Sub UpdateAllTOC()
Dim oTOC As TableOfContents
Dim bProtected As Boolean
If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType wdNoProtection Then
bProtected = True
ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:=""
End If
For Each oTOC In ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents
oTOC.Update
Next oTOC
If bProtected = True Then
ActiveDocument.Protect _
Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True, Password:=""
End If
End Sub

I had to unprotect the form for the F9 update to work. This wiped
out the text when I re-protected the form. The TOC looks ok before
anything is keyed to the fields. One thing I noticed is that the
last item in the TOC does NOT have a box with a - sign in it
preceding the final section of the form.
If the TOC was created by Word from the Heading styles,
Insert-Reference-Index and Tables, then the TOC is a field. Single
click it, press the F9 key and update the entire table (or just
page numbers)
The TOC will then be syched with the map

I have inherited an outline form that our users would like to be
able to key as much information as they need to without messing up
the table of contents. When I addd the form fields to the
document and then key enough information to generate another
page, the table of contents and Document map seem to get out of
synch. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? The users want to
keep the same numbering scheme but want to be able to key an
unlimited amount of text.
Thanks for the help!
