Put the cursor anywhere in the TOC and press F9 to update the field, or right-click in the TOC and choose Update Field -- that's the same as for any field and for any version of Word. A new feature in Word 2007 is that when the cursor is in the TOC, there's a title tab at the top that says "Update Table..." and clicking that does the same as the F9 update. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

When in a table of contents in 2007, I cannot get the new title tab at the
top to appear. What option do I neet to set to see it?

Update Table of Contents with Word 2007?
I should have been clearer about that...
In Word 2003 and earlier, when you use the Insert Reference Table of Contents dialog, it inserts a TOC field in the document. You can still insert the same kind of field in Word 2007 by going through the Quick Parts Fields dialog, or it may appear when you open a document that was created with a TOC in an earlier version. But if you create a new table of contents in Word 2007 by going to the References ribbon, clicking the Table of Contents button, and choosing one of the items from the gallery, the TOC field is enclosed in a "content control" that appears as a blue box around the table of contents. The title tab appears on the upper left corner of the blue box. The tab contains buttons for "Remove TOC" and "Update Field". Putting the cursor somewhere inside the TOC and pressing F9 to update it also still works. BEVatUC wrote: When in a table of contents in 2007, I cannot get the new title tab at the top to appear.

It's pretty much a duplicate of the Table of Contents button on the ribbon. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Update Table of Contents with Word 2007?
Jay thanks for responding. I have the content control box appear on my PC.
But on another laptop I am using, it does not appear when in the table of contents. Updating the table can still be done the other ways. I am just curious as to why it doesn't appear and if there is a setting to bring it back. "Jay Freedman" wrote: I should have been clearer about that...
