Check Table of Content is matching
Hi,
Is there any easy way to check whether the table of contents is matching with the content of the document? Is there any provision in word for automatically updating the table of contenets whenever the document is modified? Thanks! |

Check Table of Content is matching
There are several ways to refesh the TOC.
Mouse right click over it and press refresh. Place cursor in the TOC, press F9 will also do this. What is usually best is to refresh the whole document, Ctrl+A, then press F9. This will update all fields in the document, Headings, TOC, Cross-references, etc. You can also create a macro to do this, and assign a shortcut.

So there are no mechanism to automaticallyn update the TOC when I add a new
sub section, delete a section etc. I have to press F9 or use some other mehansim to update the TOC. Is my understanding correct? "DeanH" wrote: There are several ways to refesh the TOC.

That is mostly correct. If you have checked the option to update
fields when printing, then Word will automatically prompt you whether to update the TOC whenever you print or go to Print Preview. (In this case you'll see that prompt regardless of whether you made any changes that will be reflected in the TOC.) -- 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.
