Printing Table of Contents
When tracking changes, I can acept all changes in a document and save it.
When I open the document again (track changes still on) and hit print, the Table of Contents completely changes with really weird numbers. If I update the field and save it again, when I reopen it and try to print it happens all over again. The same thing is happeneing in all of my documents. If I turn off changes it is normal (which is my work around) but I need to track changes on these docs. Any suggestions are welcomed! |

One way to get around this is to lock the TOC field: Place the
insertion point inside it and then press Ctrl+F11. (Later, when you want to unlock the field, use Ctrl+Shift+F11.) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Michael" wrote in message ...

Printing Table of Contents
Hi Michael,
Try running the following macro to accept the tracked changes affecting your fields: Sub AcceptTrackedFields() Dim oRange As Word.Range Dim Fld As Field With ActiveDocument ' Loop through all range objects and accept tracked changes on fields For Each oRange In .StoryRanges Do For Each Fld In oRange.Fields Fld.Select Selection.Range.Revisions.AcceptAll Next Set oRange = oRange.NextStoryRange Loop Until oRange Is Nothing Next End With End Sub That should clean up whatever mess there already is. Add it to your Normal.dot template and it'll be available anytime you need it. To prevent the fields getting messed up again at print time, uncheck 'update fields' under Tools|Options|Print.

Printing Table of Contents
Unfortunately, that did not solve the problem. As soon as I hit print
preview, I get changes made to my TOC. I am using Word 2002, SP2 and the document has multiple sections in it. It is a 81 page document. Any thoughts?

Printing Table of Contents
Unfortunately, the macro issue won't work because my company's system will
shut it off before opening. And I did turn off the print option and that did not work either. I am using Word 2002 SP2 and the document has 81 pages with multiple sections. Is that maybe a factor?

Printing Table of Contents
If you first accept (or reject) changes in the TOC, and then lock it,
does that work? Obviously, you would have to leave the TOC field locked until you've finished editing; then you should unlock and update it. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Michael" wrote in message ...
