Table of content not updated automatically

[Paola]

If I open a Word 2000 document with Word 2003, the table of content is not
updated automatically.
I have Office2003 SP2
Any suggestion?
Thank you for you help!

select it and press F9.

See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/PageNumber0.htm.

To update a table of contents manually, place the cursor inside it and
press F9. To have the TOC update on print, choose the "Update fields"
option in Tools | Options, Print tab.

I know I can do F9, BUT... this should be automatic...

How does the TOC look when you open the document? Are all page numbers
the same, or what is the problem?

Note that tables of contents, like most fields, update
semi-automatically rather than automatically. See the following KB
articles for more information:

Some fields are updated while other fields are not
