VBA Loop Through and Update all TOC (Table of Contents)

[OzPanda]

Hi just wondering does anyone have the VBA code that lets you loop through all Table of Contents in a Word Document. and update them.

At the moment I am using this:

ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents(1).Update
ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents(2).Update
ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents(3).Update

But I was wondering if there's a way to determine who many tables there are in total and loop that many times so it would work for any document.

Sometimes there's TOC, table of figures, table of table so 3 but sometimes there's only 1.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Untested, but maybe this:

Dim i As Long

With ActiveDocument
    For i = 1 To .TablesOfContents.Count
        .TableOfContents(i).Update
    Next i
End With

it errors on

.TableOfContents(i).Update
Run-time error '438':

Object doesn't support this property or method.

Ahh spelling issue: TablesOfContents

Cheers it works now.

Glad it works, sorry for the typo.

Thread closed. Many Thanks @Akuini.

Note: if anyone is reading this. Code works perfectly well if only one word doc opened if multiple word docs opened TOC may not update in the word doc you intended.

OzPanda: As written, the code applies to the ActiveDocument, which means the document that has focus. You could probably get the same result with:
ActiveDocument.Fields.Update
regardless of how many Tables of Contents there are.
