Update field option is disabled
Why is the "Update Fields" (F9) option in my doc disabled? For the TOC and
all cross-references, pressing F9 does nothing, and the context menu (right-click) shows the Update field option as grayed-out, disabled. |

Update field option is disabled
Possibly the fields are locked or have been unlinked?

Update field option is disabled
Thanks for your help. Have you heard of this situation?
The problem is definetly related to PDF creation. After creating a PDF from a Word 2003 doc, the €śUpdate Field€ť option for all cross-references, TOC, and Index is disabled. I used the standard PDF conversion utility provided with Acrobat Standard 8. When a new TOC or cross-reference is added to the doc it continues to behave as expected; only those inserted before PDF conversion are problematic. In addition, the style and font for the cross-references is altered to ZWAdobeF. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Possibly the fields are locked or have been unlinked? -- Suzanne S.

I also forgot to mention that the links still work, even when the Update
option is disabled. Thanks again. "MaryM" wrote: Thanks for your help. Have you heard of this situation? The problem is definetly related to PDF creation.

What I have found is that the "Update fields" check box on the Print tab of
Tools | Options is cleared every time I create a PDF; I have to remember to go back and recheck it. I haven't noticed any effect on the function of F9, however. -- Suzanne S.
