Wow! What a load of problems. You might want to treat the document as
corrupt; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm The original problem with the TOC might have arisen from the TOC field being unlinked. As for the "No Table of Contents entries found" message, the best way to troubleshoot this is to look at the TOC Options and see what styles are marked for inclusion. Styles with a built-in outline level will be included by default, but you can also select custom styles by typing in the appropriate level (and remove the built-in ones by deleting the number). The "too many edits" message may mean that Word is struggling to maintain the Undo list. Saving, closing, and reopening the document periodically should help with this. -- Suzanne S.

"Greg Reese" wrote in message ... I was updating the whole table by selecting the Update TOC button. I tried your suggestion of putting the cursor in the TOC and pressing F9 but then nothing happened. There was no dialog box, no updating, nada. Then I deleted the TOC and tried inserting a new one (Insert|Reference|Indexes and tables ) and got the message Error! No table of contents entries found. That would certainly explain why the TOC doesn't update, but how did that situation come about? I'm starting to wonder about the styles now. Could they have gotten messed up? The Help says the TOC entries must be based built-in heading styles or outline-level formats. By the way, what does "There are too many edits in your document." mean? Now I've found another problem - I can't insert a bookmark. When I select Add from the dialog box the box disappears but the bookmark isn't inserted. I have the options set to see the gray bracket for bookmarks so I can tell it's not there. Also, if I try to go to the bookmark (Ctrl+G) it's not in the list. Sigh. Greg Reese -----Original Message----- Are you updating the entire TOC or just page numbers? Try pressing F9 in the TOC to get a dialog box offering these options. -- Suzanne S.

"Greg Reese" wrote in message ... I don't know if this is related but I just noticed that if I change text in a chapter title and update the TOC (from the outline tool bar) the chapter title in the TOC does not change. The title is in the Heading 1 style. Greg Reese -----Original Message----- I'm afraid I haven't a clue then. Sorry. -- Suzanne S.

"Greg Reese" wrote in message ... I insert the label+number and do not insert as a hyperlink. Greg -----Original Message----- Are you inserting just the number, the whole caption, or what? -- Suzanne S.

"Greg Reese" wrote in message ... Yes, it seems strange to me too. The caption is present in the dialog box, the figure or table number is correct but when I press Insert nothing happens, even though I do see the Insert button go down. Some of the caption references do get inserted and some don't. Thanks anyway. Greg Reese -----Original Message----- Gotcha. I've type a lot of manuscripts that way in my day. If you've used Insert | Caption, then I can't think of any reason why the caption would not be available in the Cross-reference dialog. I assume you're selecting the appropriate reference type (Table or Figure, as appropriate)? -- Suzanne S.

"Greg Reese" wrote in message ... Actually there aren't even any graphics in the file. Instead of graphics I have text that says "Insert Figure xx" here and then beneath that I insert a figure caption. Similarly, the table are not Word tables but just text separated by tabs. (These formats are dictated by my publisher.) Greg Reese -----Original Message----- Note that if you insert a caption for a wrapped graphic, it will be in a text box. If all your figures and tables are inline, then this will not be an issue. -- Suzanne S.

The headings are in built-in styles, though I believe I changed the font size. The figures and table captions are what Word inserts. I then apply a style to them but I think that also just changes the font size. Greg reese -----Original Message----- All of these headings are in one of Word's built- in heading styles? Or are bookmarked in some way? -- Suzanne S.

"Greg Reese" wrote in message news:07b701c54751$d257ce20 ... No, none of them are in text boxes. I just tried inserting a reference to a chapter. It works for Chapter 7 and Chapter 11, but not 8, 9, or 10! -----Original Message----- Are some of your figure/table captions in text boxes? Word can't "see" text in text boxes. -- Suzanne S.

"Greg Reese" wrote in message news:106901c54742$a82d6c90 ... I have a doc on Windows XP with Word 2002. I just started having problems inserting references to some of the headings, figures, tables, and custom items. When I select Insert|Reference|Cross-reference all the figures, tables, etc. are present in the list box. However, when I select one and press the insert button the button goes down but nothing gets inserted. They don't all fail - inserting works on some of the cross-references but not on others.
