Press the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar to display nonprinting
marks. You'll probably see at least one dot (·), which represents a
space character, or an arrow pointing to the right, which means a tab
character, immediately to the left of the page break. This can cause
the heading text to repeat in the table of contents. Delete the
characters and update the TOC.

Note that it is better to avoid manual page breaks and instead add
"Page break before" formatting as needed. You'll find this option on
the Line and Page Breaks tab of the Paragraph dialog box
(FormatParagraph). If a particular heading should always start on a
new page, you should add "Page break before" to the style.

I too am facing a similar problem.
In my document, few headings are being repeated in the TOC. Before
the
heading, there is a manual page break, but in the TOC, there is no
blank
entry before the main entry - the entry is just getting repeated
twice.
I have another exactly same document where no duplication occurs.
Please help!!

Thanks!

"Table of Contents" should not be included at all. Make sure that
that
heading is in a style that is not included in the TOC (I usually
define a
new style, based on Heading 1, called TOC Head). As for
"Introduction," if
there is a manual page break immediately before the heading, which
inherits
the Heading 1 style, you would get a blank entry before
"Introduction," but
I wouldn't expect to get it repeated unless there is a TC field in
the
heading.

Whenever I update the TOC in a particular document, it enters
the "Table
of
Contents" and "Introduction" headers twice. I end up manually
deleting
the
duplicates. I noticed that it doesn't happen in another
document, so I
tend
to think that it has to do with the original setup of the TOC (I
did not
create the original document).

Any suggestions?
