[SOLVED] Macro to Insert Table of Contents

kennethc · 06-24-2009, 01:24 AM

Hi,

I'm a Word 2003 user and when I go to record a macro to insert a table of contents I have to change the show levels from 3 to 1, then go in to options and untick / remove some styles that I don't want to be included in the table. I then add the macro to a button. The problem occurs when I try to use the macro by clicking it - it displays 3 levels of styles instead of 1 within the table of contents.

Is this because recording macros doesn't recognise changing levels using a spinner and that the macro needs to be coded? Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Kenneth.

Hi Kenneth,

Check out the Add Method (TablesOfContents Collection) in Word's vba Help file.
