Table of Contents Word 2003
My TOC for my 514-page book mysteriously disappeared when I pressed Alt + F9 to update the table. ( I had added a new page and new headings). Now instead of the 15-page TOC, I have {TOC..\*.MERGEFORMAT.} in its place. When I right click on it I have options like toggle fields etc. But all I want is to see the TOC. How do I get it back? And how do I avoid this problem in the future? |

Table of Contents Word 2003
F9 updates fields. Alt+F9 displays field codes. Press Alt+F9 again to toggle
back to display of field results. Toggle Fields would accomplish the same thing. -- Suzanne S.
