Hi there

Is there anyway in Word 2003 that I can tell the TOC not to update on
opening the document? Sometimes it takes a minute or so to open our large
documents. Can I turn it off and manually update?

I'm familiar with VBA if that's the way to go.

Thanks!

You could lock the TOC (Ctrl+F11; Ctrl+Shift+F11 to unlock), but ordinarily
fields are not updated at open.
