That's a local setting. They have to have it unchecked for it to do any
good. As I said (and I thought I had made it plenty clear), your only
recourse is to make suggestions.

I sent the attachment as is and unchecked the "Allow starting in Reading
Layout" box in the General tab under ToolsGeneral. Will that work for
the
recipient or does only work from the Word program on my machine?

There are three approaches to this:
1. Suggest that recipients save the document to the HD before opening it
instead of opening it directly from the attachment; it will then not
open in
Reading Layout View.
2. Suggest that recipients disable Reading Layout view (Tools | Options
|
General); some of them may thank you for the information on how to do
this.
3. Suggest that recipients, after opening in Reading Layout view and
switching to another view, click in the TOC and press F9 to update it.
Note that all these are actions that must be taken at the recipient's
end.
There is nothing *you* can do to make the document open correctly on the
recipient's machine; you can only make suggestions.

I'm having the same issue. Is there a way to rectify this so that the
recipient see the correct TOC?

Possibly because the recipient opened the document directly from the
attachment, and it was displayed in Reading Layout view?
