I want to add sections to an existing Word 2003 document that contains a
table of contents. How do you make changes to the Word 2003 document so that
the table of contents is automatically updated?

Thanks!

You format headings with the same styles that are currently included in the
TOC. See http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html

TOCs don't update automatically. You can update them manually, by selecting
them and pressing F9. Alternatively, you can have them update prior to
printing, by choosing the option to update fields on print, in Tools |
Options, Print tab.

A different approach is to use the following macros in normal.dot or in an
add-in (which will update any tables of contents and tables of figures
present in the active document):

Sub FilePrintDefault()
Dim toc As TableOfContents
Dim tof As TableOfFigures
For Each toc In ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents
toc.Update

Next toc

For Each tof In ActiveDocument.TablesOfFigures
tof.Update
Next tof

ActiveDocument.PrintOut

End Sub

Sub FilePrint()
Dim toc As TableOfContents
Dim tof As TableOfFigures
For Each toc In ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents
toc.Update

Next toc

For Each tof In ActiveDocument.TablesOfFigures
tof.Update
Next tof

Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Show

End Sub
