In Word 2003, is it possible to set a Table of Contents so that it automatially updates itself every time changes are made in the document? luckypingudog at hotmail.com

Yes. Michael J

Oh, would you like some info on how to do it too? LOL. I'm using Office XP, but it is the same as it was in the last two versions, so I doub't 2003 has changed. When creating your document, use the formatting drop-down tool. It is a drop-down menu in your toolbar that should say Normal by default. Use the Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3 formats to format your section headings accordingly. Then, to create the table of contents, create a blank page in your document and select Insert>Reference>Index and Tables. Select the Table of Contents tab and make any changes to the properties and click OK. Your table of contents page will be automatically created. Any new section headings you add/change/delete will be automatically updated as well as the page numbers (if you selected that option). My office only shows 3 levels of headers, but I know you can create more. Search the help in the application for more info. Michael J
