Re: word document update filed functionality implement in POI word document generation

It is highly likely that I am incorrect, but I very much doubt that this is
possible using POI; I have been following a couple of discussions relating
to Microsoft's own OOXML SDK and even it has problems with this operation.
To be able to determine where each section falls - i.e. it's page number -
the document needs to be formatted into pages and this is something that is
only done when the file is rendered. Thinking about it further, even when
using Word itself, you need to explicitly tell the application to update the
TOC - press F9 for instance - so even Word does not update the TOC
automatically, as the document is being generated. My suggestion would be to
base all of your documents on a template that includes a VBA macro which
will run when the document is opened; this macro should include code to
update the TOC. The one obvious problem with this is that the user can
choose to disable macros and your standards may prohibit including trusted
macros into documents to circumvent this problem.

Yours

PS. I have heard that the TOC will be updated when the document is prepared
for printing but do not know if this will help in any way.
