SYMPTOMS
If you use a macro to update a TOC (table of contents) field, Microsoft Word may not prompt you to choose either Update Page Numbers Only or to Update Entire Table. Word only updates the page numbers.



CAUSE
By design, Word defaults to Update Page Numbers Only.



WORKAROUND
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. The following sample Visual Basic for Applications macros demonstrate how to update a table of contents: Sub UpdateTOC ' Update the entire first table of contents ' in the active document. ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents(1).Update End Sub To update only the page numbers of a table of contents, use this macro: Sub UpdateTOC ' Update only the page numbers of the first ' table of contents in the active document. ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents(1).UpdatePageNumbers End Sub
