Hi. I am creating a document in word 2003 with Tables of:contents, authorities, figures etc with indexing as well.

I need to update the fields as i regularly move things about that have fields associated with them.

I know how to do it in the print option dialog box however i would like to do this prior to printing. Any ideas?

To update all fields in a Word document:

[1] Press Ctrl+A ...this selects the entire document, including all the fileds.

[2] Press F9 ...this will cause all the fields to re-calculate.
