What action updates the page numbers in a table of contents after edits?

• A. Click the Update Table button to refresh the page numbers.
• B. Save the document to refresh the numbers.
• C. Close and reopen the document to refresh the numbers.
• D. Print preview refreshes the numbers.

Answer: (A)

Updating the table of contents is needed because the TOC is a dynamic field that pulls page numbers from the document’s current layout. After edits, pages can shift, so the numbers in the TOC no longer match until you refresh it. Using the Update Table command recalculates the headings and their page positions, ensuring the page numbers reflect the latest layout. You can update the entire table (recalculating both entries and numbers) or just the page numbers if headings haven’t changed.Simply saving, closing and reopening, or using print preview doesn’t refresh the TOC, so those actions won’t update the page numbers.
