Update TOC using macro

[Eric White]

Hi @sliu,

At the time I was working on that screen-cast series, I got diverted to another project, and never recorded the approach using a macro enabled document, and I’m afraid I don’t remember the details. But I still believe it to be possible to create a macro-enabled document. See the following:

Cheers, Eric

I tried macro enabled Word document. I created AutoOpen and AutoExec macros in my docm. However the macros are not called when Word document opens. I don’t know how to invoke the macros automatically. So I will keep the macro in normal.dotm.

Thanks

Just checking – the macro name should be Auto_Open, not AutoOpen.

It may be that Microsoft has completely removed this feature due to security concerns.

I tried AutoOpen in .dotm. It doesn’t work. I’m using Office 2016. I think Microsoft has removed this feature. I just save the macro in Normal.dotm. This still works.

Thanks for your help!
