Auto Update table of contents on close

Hi,

As the title suggests Im looking for a way to automatically update the table of contents in a word document when it closes. Ive tried:

ActiveDocument.Fields.Update

which didn't do anything - any suggestions please?

Thanks

I'd be more inclined to use a Document_Open macro, coded along the lines of:

Code:

Sub Document_Open()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ActiveDocument
  .Fields.Update
  .PrintPreview
  .ClosePrintPreview
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

If you try to update fields as the document closes, the updates will be lost unless you re-save the document.
