Updating TOC fields
Hello All,
I've got a large report that's almost finished; however, when a complete new page gets AutoText'd in to the report, the Table of Contents page doesn't update. We drop in three pages (a heating page, an air conditioning page, etc.) in a row in this report, but the TOC page doesn't add these three new pages to its listing, showing a three to six page gap. The separate, added pages have all the coding; if they were already in the report, they'd be listed in the TOC. It's hitting their AutoText code and adding them to the report that doesn't get them in. How do I get this page to update? John |

Updating TOC fields
Tables of Contents don't update automatically when you add a new heading to
your document. This is because a ToC is a field. To update a Table of Contents, put your cursor in the Table of Contents and press F9 to update it. Or ctrl-a F9 to update all fields in the document. When you update your Table of Contents, always choose to update the Entire Table . -- Carol A.

That worked! I knew of that F9 function, but I've been off Word for a good
month or so and have gotten very rusty. Thanks! John "Carol" wrote: Tables of Contents don't update automatically when you add a new heading to your document. This is because a ToC is a field.
