Delete a table of contents

TheBigBoss · #1 12-17-2025, 07:33 AM

Hi there,

Having a small issue, I want to delete all TOCs found in ActiveDocument but whatever I do, the TOC container remains.

This will delete the heading of the TOC, if any... and delete all content in range (mostly TOC fields)

Code:

For Each toc In ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents
        toc.Range.Previous(Unit:=wdParagraph).Delete
        toc.Range.Delete
    Next toc

What is the property of the TOC container, it is not a Content Control as this returns nothing

Code:

For Each cc In ActiveDocument.ContentControls
        MsgBox cc.Type
Next cc

Thanks for your help
