Protected Forms/Cannot Update TOC

[Guest]

I can't seem to update the TOC when there are protected forms within a
document. Does anyone know of a workaround for this issue? Thanks.

Unfortunately, this is the case. You'd need to unprotect, update the TOC,
then reprotect. This can be done with a fairly simple macro:

Sub UpdateTOCinForm
Dim doc as Word.Document
Set doc = ActiveDocument
If doc.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then
doc.Unprotect
End If
doc.TablesOfContents(1).Update
doc.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, true
End Sub
