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

Greetings¡V

Your document includes a number of pictures with paragraph outline level
set to ¡§Level 1¡¨. This is why the pictures are getting into the TOC. You
have to apply a Body Text level to all of them. Here is how to proceed:
1. Press Ctrl+F.
2. In the ¡§Find what¡¨ box, enter the following string:
^g^p
3. Select the ¡§Highlight all items found in¡¨ check box.
4. Choose ¡§Main document¡¨ in the corresponding drop-down list below.
5. Press ¡§Find All¡¨.
6. Close the ¡§Find and replace¡¨ dialog, but leave the selection AS IS in
the document window.
7. From the Format menu, select Paragraph¡K
8. In the ¡§Paragraph¡¨ dialog box, select the ¡§Indents and Spacing¡¨ tab.
9. Choose ¡§Body text¡¨ in the ¡§Outline level¡¨ drop-down list.
10. OK out of the dialog.
The TOC should now update correctly.

Cheers
Robert

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,
