Unable to revise table of contents when using protect document fea
I am trying to protect a few elements on a document and want all the
remaining elements to be open to the user, including the ability to revise the table of contents. Is there a way to enable this? |

Unable to revise table of contents when using protect document
Anne,
That article does not answer my question. There appears to be certain basic Word functions that are locked down when you enable the protect document features - one of them is the ability to revise the table of contents. I tried putting section breaks before and after the table of contents and then identifying that the section was not protected but that did not allow the ability to revise the table of contents once the protect document feature was enabled. Do you have any other ideas? Sue "Anne Troy" wrote: Try this, Sue: http://www.officearticles.com/word/p...oft_word.h tm ************ Hope it helps!

Sue: In what way are you trying to revise the table of contents? Is it an
electronic TOC created using fields? And what version of Word so that I can test fully? ************ Hope it helps! Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Sue" wrote in message ...

Unable to revise table of contents when using protect document
Anne,
Yes, it is an electronic TOC created using fields. IE. File/Insert/Reference/Index and Tables/Table of Contents. A little background might help. We are creating document templates but instead of using the .dot type of MS Word file, we are using the .doc type of MS Word file to create them (users are just not comfortable with using .dot types of files - I know, would be easier if they were). We are trying to find a way to display the version of the Word document we've created as our 'template' on the cover page of the Word .doc document such that the user cannot get rid of it when they do a File/Save As to use the template for their project. I thought I could use the Protect Document features to do this but when I section up things so that this one section is protected but all the others are open, I cannot update my TOC. Once a user does a File/Save As they will add a ton of content and the table of contents will no longer be accurate - they need to be able to update them. I hope this makes more sense now. We are using Word 2002 (10.4219.4219) SP-2. Sue "Anne Troy" wrote: Sue: In what way are you trying to revise the table of contents? Is it an electronic TOC created using fields?
