Default table of contents is getting corrupted in Word XP (2003 )

Some more technical details about your document.
If you click in the TOC, then press Alt+F9, you’ll notice that the TOC
field includes the “\u” switch:
TOC \o "1-3" \h \z \u
This “\u” switch was introduced in MS Word 2003 and means “build the TOC
using paragraph outline levels”. This is why your TOC includes the pictures
associated with “outline level 1” when you try to update it.
So if you want your table to update as expected, all you have to do is
change the TOC field syntax from “TOC \o "1-3" \h \z \u” to “TOC \o "1-3"
\h \z”.
Note that this document also includes unwanted header text in the second
section (TOC pages). If you want to remove these texts, display the
headers, click in each header, press Ctrl+A, then the Del key.

Everytime I try to insert a new Table of Contents in this Word document,
www.winsim.com/samples.doc (1.7 MB), Word XP (2003) merges
information from first chapter into the table of contents.

Does anyone know what is going on here ? This Word document was
created from another Word document that has been existing since Word
95.

Thanks,
