 - Microsoft Word 97 for Windows 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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.

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
