Table of Contents won't crate entries
Office XP running under XP.
Unable to update ToC. This was working previously, but quit on me after a massive cut and paste operation due to my clients Endnote Separation error. I re-entered the fields to no avail. I noticed that when entering the field switches, the system is no longer enclosing the TC text in quotes. Without the quotes, nothing appears to happen. If I insert the quotes manually, I am asked whether to update just the page numbers or the entire table. The results are the same - a null response. Once again, I plead ignorance and request assistance from the Gods of MVP. In the ToC area, I have the following field: { TOC \f t} In the body of the paper, I have: { TC €śABSTRACT€ť \f t }ABSTRACT The fields were placed with: Insert Field Categories (Index and Tables) Field names (TOC) and (TC) I have tried it with and without the Multiple Tables checked. I have tried creating the ToC with Heading styles and with TC entries with the same unsuccessful results. I have also entered the TOC field from the Insert Reference Index and Tables dialog box - still nutin'. |

This could be a case of document corruption, I think. Take a look at

Step 4 of the referenced document was the only feasible fix for me, but it didn't fix the problem. |

I may have misunderstood your first message. Are you saying that you
have the same problem with new documents? Then it is possible that your template is corrupted (again, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm). If the problem is only with a specific document (my initial assumption), did you make sure not to include the malfunctioning TOC as you copied and pasted to a new document? -- Stefan Blom "bud i" wrote in message ...
