Hello,
i have a large document with about 400 tables.
Now i want to insert some tables by a makro.
The problem is, if i insert a caption with Selection.InsertCaption all
other fields are updated. This takes a long time. Is it possible to
deaktivate the update function and update the fields once, after all tables
are inserted by the makro?

Thanks
Michael

At the beginning of your macro, insert the line

ActiveDocument.Fields.Locked = True

and at the end of the macro insert the lines

ActiveDocument.Fields.Locked = False
ActiveDocument.Fields.Update
