Return to the
WordprocessingML Screen-Cast
Series<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

In the first screen-cast in this series, I examined the markup for tables-of-contents in WordprocessingML documents. In the second screen-cast, I presented a bit of code that showed how to insert a non-updated TOC into a document, and to set the element in the settings part to true. Setting that element to true causes Word to ask whether to update fields when the user opens the document, and if the user responds with ‘yes’, then the document is repaginated, and the TOC is updated. However, having the user be presented with that modal dialog box may not be the experience you want, so in this screen-cast, I show how you can use Word Automation to open and save the document, thereby causing all fields to be updated, including the TOC.<\/p>\n

I’ve attached the code to this post.<\/p>\n
