No Update Table of Contents popup after Review -> Accept All Changes in Document
I have a document with a Table of Contents and am tracking changes. I save a new version after each significant update to the doc (version_1, version_2, etc.)
When creating a new version, the first thing I do is "Accept All Changes in Document" so all the review changes in this version include only the new changes. However, after I do this, when I do Select -> Select All -> F9, the "Update Table of Contents" dialog box does not appear. This was working earlier (version 5, version 6, etc) but has stopped working. Not sure if I inadvertently made a change to Word settings, but this is very frustrating! (and took awhile to figure out that it was the "Accept All Change" that triggered the "Update" to stop working). Any clues? TIA |

The Update Table of Contents dialog box will only display if you are allowed to make a choice. In some situations, Word will always update the whole table, for example if you removed one or more headings.

Not quite...
This does not seem to be the case in my document. I can do Select -> Select All -> F9, do the update, over and over, without making any (other) updates to the document in between.
Then, once I do "Accept All Changes in Document", the Update TOC dialog box does not appear. The same non-appearance continues if I delete headings. The TOC does not get updated, and the deleted headings still appear in the TOC. |

OK, since you are tracking changes, the "normal" rules do not apply. :-)
Fields may not behave properly as long as there are unresolved tracked changes in a document.
