Outline Question
I have inherited an outline form that our users would like to be able to key
as much information as they need to without messing up the table of contents. When I addd the form fields to the document and then key enough information to generate another page, the table of contents and Document map seem to get out of synch. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? The users want to keep the same numbering scheme but want to be able to key an unlimited amount of text. Thanks for the help! Ken K. -- akkrug |

Outline Question
If the TOC was created by Word from the Heading styles,
Insert-Reference-Index and Tables, then the TOC is a field. Single click it, press the F9 key and update the entire table (or just page numbers) The TOC will then be syched with the map "akkrug" wrote: I have inherited an outline form that our users would like to be able to key as much information as they need to without messing up the table of contents.

Outline Question
I had to unprotect the form for the F9 update to work. This wiped out the
text when I re-protected the form. The TOC looks ok before anything is keyed to the fields. One thing I noticed is that the last item in the TOC does NOT have a box with a - sign in it preceding the final section of the form. -- akkrug "PA" wrote: If the TOC was created by Word from the Heading styles, Insert-Reference-Index and Tables, then the TOC is a field.

Fields in the document will update if you check the calculate on exit check
box of the last field to be tabbed out of. TOC updates require a bit more effort. Run the following macro on exit froma form field. It will unlock the form, update the TOC, and relock the form without destroying the content entered into the field. Sub UpdateAllTOC() Dim oTOC As TableOfContents Dim bProtected As Boolean If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType wdNoProtection Then bProtected = True ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:="" End If For Each oTOC In ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents oTOC.Update Next oTOC If bProtected = True Then ActiveDocument.Protect _ Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True, Password:="" End If End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org akkrug wrote: I had to unprotect the form for the F9 update to work.

I added the macro to the last form field and it is leaving the contents
entered and most of the TOC seems to work properly, but I can't select the Table of contents when the form is protected. Is this the way it is supposed to work?

different sections with the same numbering scheme. Can this be done or do I have to start the TOC over again?
