This is a known problem when the document is opened in Reading Layout view.
There is really nothing you can do on your end except make suggestions. You
can suggest that:

1. The recipient save the document to the hard drive before opening it
(instead of opening the attachment directly). This will result in the
document's being opened in the view in which you saved it, preserving the
TOC entries intact.

2. The recipient disable Reading Layout view (Tools | Options | General. If
the recipient routinely opens documents directly from attachments, he/she
may thank you for the information on how to do this.

3. The recipient immediately switch to Print Layout view, select the TOC,
and press F9 to update it.

When I email a document to someone the page numbers revert to the first
page
number in the TOC. I need to know if there is a way to have the formatting
retained during emailing of the document.
