<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am in charge of updating a 178 page application user-manual at work. This manual has a Table of Contents, images (screenshots of our application) and text. it really isn't all that fancy. It does not use any Word 'HEADER' designs, just self-made BOLD text followed-up by bulleted lists.<br />
<br />
This manual is now being updated using Word 2010. It was originally created in Word 2003, and later updated in Word 2007.<br />
<br />
Here is the problem... while doing some serious updating to bring the manual forward several versions to match our most recent app. update I need to 'update' the T.o.C. When I click on the UPDATE TOC that appears as a button above the Table of Contents, Word freezes and never recovers (have waited as much as 10 minutes) and I force it to close (Task Manager) &lt;&lt;OR&gt;&gt; it just craps out by itself.<br />
Our manual is very long and it would be a realy effort to have to re-type the entire T.O.C.<br />
Help!
