Hi ladida,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

The Toc fields can't be updated by DocIO, it should be updated only after opened in MS word and by pressing F9 or select the fields and by giving update field. Since these fields values can't be set during document creation. The fields are only updated after opened by MS word.

We can only insert the TOC or other fields using DocIO.

As a
workaround
please use create one macro like give below in any of your word document. This will automatically updates when ever any documents opened. The AutoOpen macro automatically runs when the document opens.

Sub AutoOpen()
Dim aStory As Range
Dim aField As Field
For Each aStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
For Each aField In aStory.Fields
aField.Update
Next aField
Next aStory
End Sub 

Here is the link more about automatically updates fields

Please let me know if you have any questions.

hi Poornima R,

thanks for your answer.

but I dont find a way to add a macro with docio.


And for future syncfusion versions: It would be very nice if your team add a method to update the table of content. Because I want to export it as .pdf, so no one can remove the watermark.

We will consider this feature in any one of our future releases.
