Hi Guys,

I've been looking at some macros to automatically change a toc in word
2000 to enable clickable entries (the \h in the toc field), then update
the toc.

Now whenever I try to update the toc, I no longer get the option of
updating line numbers or the whole table. This happens whether I run
the macro or not.

As far as I know I should be able to update the toc with

ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents(1).Update

or all fields with

Sub UpdateFields()
Dim pRange As Word.Range
For Each pRange In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
Do
pRange.Fields.Update
Set pRange = pRange.NextStoryRange
Loop Until pRange Is Nothing
Next
End Sub

But like I say, one of these has broken my toc updating. Even deleting
the toc and adding another does not affect this behaviour.

Help appreciated.

Updating all fields using VBA never sends an update to a TOC field. Those
have to be updated explicitly.
