Hi Folks. Love your product.
I have one problem that is bedeviling me however. A company document I generate must be protected. Also, of course, it must have a table of contents. If I lock it, the user cant hit CTRL A and then F9 to make the TOC show up.
Also, I want to find that propsoed VBA macro that makes a generated document create a TOC when it is first opened. I cant find that on your website.
Also, I am looking for some instructions in producing this desired result.
Also, if you can tell me whether it actually works…cause I havent seen anything written by anyone who actually is doing this successfully.
This is the last thing I have to do for this project, unfortunately it is coming up just when we are about to go live. Hopefully you can help me out.
Thanks for a great product. And I am looking forward to your answer.

Hi
Thanks for your inquiry. You can use a macro to automatically update the field. See the following link for more information.

Also see the attached document and the following code.

// Open template that contains macro for updating fields
Document doc = new Document("in.doc");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Insert a table of contents at the beginning of the document.
// ……………………………………………………………………………………
// Build document
// ……………………………………………………………………………………
// Protect document
doc.Protect(ProtectionType.ReadOnly);
// Save document
doc.Save("out.doc");

Hope this helps.
Best regards.
