MS Word type links not auto updateable

[s8burgan]

I have a doc with several links within it that are of
type "MS Word." These are links such as my table of
contents, and other cross references to numbered
paragraphs and table captions. When I open the links
dialog to change the update method to automatic update, I
cannot select it. Does anyone know how to get the spots
on the links dialog box to be active to allow me to make
those auto updateable?

THANKS!

Many fields do not automatically update. You can write code to automatically
update them. Some will update automatically upon printing or shifting into
print preview.

That is, for many (most) fields, there is no "automatic update" switch.
