Working around a TOC is always touchy. It is very easy to get page breaks,
paragraph breaks, and pretty much anything else inside the TOC field code
(where it is deleted the next time you update the TOC). Make very sure that
you're in a separate paragraph from the TOC (with an empty paragraph in
between for good measure) when you insert the field, be sure to update
fields when printing, don't print with field codes displayed, etc.

Hi Suzanne,

I did what you said, but the field is still throwing an extra page,
even though the field is landing on an even page number. So since it's
an even page, it shouldn't be throwing a blank page, right?

Could the problem be with the fact that I'm using this field right
after a TOC and because when looking at the document using field codes
view the field lands on an odd page, but in the normal view, when the
TOC is populated, it lands on an even page? You know what I mean?
Could that be it? Thanks.

Hi. Okay. I have been battling agains Word 2003 for some time now
with this formatting thing. I have read a lot of newsgroup posts here
that all leade to this page
(http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...nPgEndChap.htm) on how to
do an odd page break and be able to put header and footer information
on that even, blank page that gets inserted.

I have used the code from that page
(http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...nPgEndChap.htm) and it
worked in the beginning of my document when I went from the table of
contents to chapter 1. But as soon as I got done with chapter 1 and
inserted another one of these special codes for the start of chapter
2,
the first one (after the table of contents) wasn't working anymore.
What I mean by that is the TOC ended on page 6, but the the code went
ahead and inserted a blank page (page 7) with my header and footer on
it, and then one of those MS Word, autogenerated blank pages got
inserted for page 8, and then my chapter 1 started on page 9.

I don't know why after entering this suggested code a second time in
the document caused the first one to start behaving incorrectly. Any
ideas? I'd appreciate any help because this is driving me absolutely
nuts! Thanks!
