microsoft-word-2007

I am using Word 2007, but saving my documents in .doc (as opposed to .docx) formats because that's company policy.

I have the ToC set up fine, but is there a way to have it update automatically (at document open, save or otherwise)? Word help suggests that it should update upon opening the document, but that doesn't seem to happen.

Any ideas?
