Update fields and other content

- [Instructor] Our document includes a number of fields, and we've been making adjustments to our document. We have some fields that we need to update. Let's begin with our Table of Contents. For example, I'm going to click in the Table of Contents, choose Update Table, update the entire table, and it is now done. So I know all of my page numbers are correct, even if something has moved, if some content's flowed from one page to a different page. Remember also that we have other fields like this that we had included, and it's possible that Employment Termination is no longer on page nine any longer, that that has changed. If I check my Table of Contents, I could probably tell. Nope, it's on page eight now, right here. So, I know that this is incorrect, and I could modify this easily. I can simply right click and I can update this field, and it now says on page eight. Remember that this is a field, too. I need to update this in case the name changed. Now, you don't have to do this…
