update table of contents

[tpmcpharlin]

I have a large doc (600+ pages) with many tables of contents and figure
(about 75). When I want to update I have to click on "Update entir
table" and OK for every table (that's 150 clicks!). Is there a way t
change the default to "Update entire table" or better yet to automat
the entire process

Run a macro containing the following code:

Dim aTC As TableOfContents, aTF As TableOfFigures
For Each aTC In ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents
aTC.Update
Next aTC
For Each aTF In ActiveDocument.TablesOfFigures
aTF.Update
Next aTF

Hi tpmc...

I have a large doc (600+ pages) with many tables of contents and figures
(about 75). When I want to update I have to click on "Update entire
table" and OK for every table (that's 150 clicks!). Is there a way to
change the default to "Update entire table" or better yet to automate
the entire process.

Out of sheer curiosity: 600+ pages and ever 8+ page a TOC – what kind of
document is that?
