Does anyone know of a way to have Word automatically update TOC fields and
page number cross-references within tables when a document is opened and/or
printed? I know the updates can be performed by selected the text and
pressing F9, but I don't want my readers of my doc to have to do this.

There are other ways.

Thanks, Anne, but what I'm looking for (and it may not exist) is a way to
have Word automatically update all fields when the document is OPENED.

Do you know how to do this?

(By the way, I didn't know that a "Print Preview" updates the fields -- good
info!)

Have you tried an AutoOpen macro as previously suggested?

The following macro will update TOC fields and REF fields.
Sub AutoOpen()
' Written by Charles Kyle Kenyon 15 November 2001
' repaired by Jezebel
' All Story Field Updater - TOC fields
Dim oField As Field
Dim oStory As Range
' On Error Resume Next
For Each oStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
' This goes into headers and footers as well as the regular document
Do
For Each oField In oStory.Fields
If oField.Type = wdFieldTOC Then
oField.Update
End If
If oField.Type = wdFieldREF Then
oField.Update
End If
Next oField
Set oStory = oStory.Next
Loop Until oStory Is Nothing
Next oStory
End Sub

No, I haven't because I'm not sure yet how Adobe will handle a macro. If
there's no such configuration within Word for handling the update upon
opening the doc, I guess I'll experiment with the macro.

Thanks!
