Turning off "Update page numbers only" in Word

Turning off "Update page numbers only" in Word When I update the fields document-wide (Ctrl + A, then F9) in a Word document that has a table of contents, a dialog appears asking if I want to update page numbers only, or update the entire table. I never want to update page numbers only if the document headings have changed, nor will I ever.

"You can try using macros. Record a macro only for the ""Update entire table"" option (you can assign the macro to a button and save it in the Quick Access Toolbar)

Update: How to record a macro (assuming you already have the TOC added in the document)

You must have the Developer tab displayed in the ribbon (if not go to Word Options select the Popular tab and tick the Show Developer tab in the Ribbon)

Select Record Macro, type a name for the macro and assign it to a button:

The Customize tab in Word Option should pop up and you can add your macro button to Quick Access Ribbon:

Now open the References tab, click the Update table option and select Update entire table, and then press OK. You can stop the recording - go back to Developer tab press the Stop Recording button:

Now, every time you want to update the entire table of content just press the button from the Quick Access Toolbar."
