TOC in Word 2010

[Robie]

Is it possible for TOC to be updated automatically (when adding Heading 1/2 paragraphs, when document is opened or when document is closed/saved) in WORD 2010?

At the moment I do this when closing the document because it may take long time to update the TOC. It is just a total mess. I would rather leave everything to Word.

Also, has the page numbering problem fixed in 2010, i.e. when opening a document it set all entries to a single page number?

Thanks.

You would need to use event procedures for the DocumentChange, Document_Open and Document_Close events. A DocumentChange event procedure can be problematic as it is triggered for every character that you type. You could do something like store a static variable that indicates if you are currently editing a Level 1 or Level 2 heading, and when this changes to a non heading paragraph you could update the TOC.

I think a simpler solution would be to have a normal Macro that updates the TOC and put a shortcut to this on the Quick Access Toolbar.

I think this one has been fixed for quite a long time now.
