Auto Updating TOC in Protected Form
I know this has been posted a few times but I thought I'd check to see
if anyone has come up with a viable solution or alternative yet. Basically, I have a document with a standardized cover page, information page, TOC, and procedures for performing a task. The cover page is a protected section with form fields that allow users to update basic information a/b the document (i.e. revision history, ect). The rest of the document is broken into various protected and unprotected sections, based on what I want the user to be able to modify. Preferably, I want to be able to automatically update the TOC when the document is saved, opened, or some other routine operation. Having to manually update it is fine too. Just as some others in the newsgroup have done, I have made the section that contains the TOC unprotected but still can't update it when the document is locked. The only solution I have seen posted is to use a macro to unprotect the document, update the TOC, and re-protect the document. This is not a viable solution for me b/c it erases the information that I want to preserve in the form fields like my revision history, etc. The only thing I can think of is maybe using a macro as described but adding a step to convert the text in the form fields to regular text in the document before re-protecting it. Does anyone know how to do this? or has anyone come up with a solution? Thanks, Scott |
