I am updating a manual that was created by someone else and then passed on to
me through several different computers. There is a Table of Contents, and
the Appendix part of the Table of Contents appears to have different
formatting than the rest of the Table of Contents. I can update the page
numbers in the Table of Contents by hitting the F9 button, but when I click
on the show/hide button, none of the bracketed fields show up in the document
itself. I need to update a few of the Table of Contents headings (the
appendices in particular) within the document. If I try, out of desperation,
to type changes directly into the Table of Contents the spacing doesn't look
right. Is there a way I can update the Table of Contents when the fields
don't show up in the document?
 
It's possible the TOC is based on styles or outline levels rather than the
TC fields you're evidently looking for.
