TOC extension
I've started writing a book and used notepad to write web pages that I
could control. My son persuaded me to use word with a TOC. I created fourteen chapters using Heading 1. Now I want more chapters in the existing TOC and I can't work it out. Could anyone help please. Thank you. |

TOC extension
The ToC is just a field. Click anywhere in the ToC and the field will be
selected: now press F9 (the Update Field button) and choose the correct option. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP wrote in message ...

TOC extension
Thanks For others who are considering this problem I found that typing "edit TOC" gave me the right help. The two option were just update page numbers to existing chapters or update the entire TOC. That gave me a further problem. I had keyed text into the TOC to indicate chapter subject matter. If I update the entire TOC it started from scratch and found all the chapter but all the text was lost. Updating the pages simply adjusted the pages for the previously known chapters. The light dawned: keep the text in the actual chapter headings then the text is always found when it works through the entire document. However, is there anyway to jump backwards from the chapter to the TOC? Thank you. Colin |

TOC extension
In Word 2003 (and perhaps 2002 as well), there is a Go To TOC button that
you can add to the toolbar (through Tools | Customize). This works well unless you have used TC fields in the document, which for some reason breaks it. You will also find that the Back button from the Web toolbar (which can be copied to another toolbar) generally works, as does the keyboard shortcut Alt+Left Arrow. -- Suzanne S.

That's fine.
Thank you. I've used word for more than 10 years (now on 2003) but not had any use for the more arcane features. It's good to know. Colin On Thu, 12 Apr 2007 14:05:51 -0500, "Suzanne S.

I've been using Word since 1992, and I have no use for this feature either,
really. Every time I want to quote the keyboard shortcut for the Back button, I have to go into Tools | Customize to turn on the "Shortcut keys in ScreenTips" feature, then display the Web toolbar and mouse over the Back button. g -- Suzanne S.
