Default misbehaving ToC quandry

Just wanted to thank you both for your advice. Using your pointers, I
solved the ToC page problem I was having.

It is great having guys like you to help.

To add to Jay's reply, you need to minimise many of the manual page
breaks as well as all those section breaks. In some cases, I expect
that you want the next page to start on the right hand page. You can
achieve this by either using Section Break, Next Odd Page or better
still, add the Paragraph, PageBreakBefore attribute to the first line
of following page.
If you are adding some of the Section Breaks because you want to
change chapter title in the Header or Footer, then look at using the
StyleRef field instead of using section breaks.

There is definitely a corruption in there somewhere and ridding all
those page breaks followed by section breaks - most of which are not
required - will probably resolve the problem.

I've been fighting with a Table of Contents problem that I just
cannot figure out.

This is a document in Word 2002 (used within Windows XP). When its
ToC is updated it consistently gives the wrong page for one entry.

I created a skeleton version of the document, replacing actual text
with the word "text" to keep things simple, and placed this document
at: http://www.hold.orthohelp.com/problemToC.DOC

The problem has to do with the ToC entry for "Part I A Little
History" which the ToC consistently shows as being on page 2, even though
it
actually is on page 1.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? I've looked at the
show/hide codes but just cannot figure out why it is doing this. Any help
would be appreciated.
