fields.update in macro does not update TOC

[Jaspar]

My template has a TOC and at the end of my AutoNew macro I have included the
statement ActiveDocument.Fields.Update, because the TOC includes some text
(headings) that contain text inserted with the AutoNew macro.

The problem is that the text apparently is not updated in the TOC. One
heading contains the name of a person ("Personal objectives for Peter") -
this name is inserted during AutoNew - but the TOC only shows "Personal
objectives for ".

If I update the fields manually (rightclicking TOC, choosing Update field
and Update evreything) the TOC is OK - so I thought the problem might be
related to some missing parameter for the ActiveDocument.Fields.Update
statement, but I can't see any possible parameters.

Hi Jaspar,

You might have to specifically update the TOC.

ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents(1).Update
