Word Templates Contents Page Numbers
When I create a new Word document from a template I created, why are the page
numbers not automatically updating in the document that opens? They all say page 3 in the new document. When I open the template itself thew page numbers are correct (3 through to 21). I am on Microsoft XP. |

Page numbers on the page, or in a table of contents? I'm not sure, given
your subject, what it is you are seeing. If it is the page numbers on the page, there is a bug in Word that is different in different versions (including different SRs). See http://www.addbalance.com/word/pagexofy.htm or http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/PageXofY.htm for information on Page X of Y problems. You may also want to take a look at: http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Number...eNumbering.htm. If it applies you may also want to look at http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Numbering/PageNumber0.htm.

In the new document created using the template, the page numbers on the pages
themselves are correct, but the page numbers in the table of contents all say 3.

Hi Todd

I don't want to have to update the table of contents everytime I open a new document. well, if Charles' links don't provide an answer, maybe you simply want to include an AutoNew macro in the template which updates the TOC? While page numbers that are off can certainly distract the user, one would think that, by adding content to the new document, the TOC will ultimately have to be updated anyway during the lifetime of the document ... 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

Robert, thanks for your posting, changes each time a document is creted from
the template are minimal so the page numbers will never change. Can you tell me how to include an AutoNew macro in the template which updates the TOC? "Robert M.

Hi Todd
Todd Mc wrote: Robert, thanks for your posting, changes each time a document is creted from the template are minimal so the page numbers will never change. Hmm. If that's true, and if also your headings never change, then -- one might suggest unlinking the TOC would solve all problems: select the first letter in the TOC (this selects the whole TOC field) and hit CTRL SHIFT F9; you have now ordinary text only. Can you tell me how to include an AutoNew macro in the template which updates the TOC? Caution: please take this with a large grain of salt, and test it thorougly, as VBA is really not my specialty. If you still want an active TOC, then it should be a one liner, something like this: Sub autonew() ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents(1).Update End Sub The macro must be saved in the template from which you are creating the new documents.
