I'm guessing that the section breaks have been inserted just before headings
(after the TOC was initially created) and have gotten inside the bookmarks
for the headings. When Word updates the bookmarks, the section breaks are
being discarded. The alternative would be to have multiple section breaks in
the TOC, which would be even more confusing.

I would like to raise the issue that two hours were lost today fighting
bizarre formatting issues in the Word document. I have the latest
version
of
Office (2003) and it behaves much as the last. I am not sure what the
source
of the problem is, but it is frustrating when, after updating the table
of
contents, you lose all your section breaks or when you set an item to
have
a
bullet and then all the items have bullets. These are a few examples;
there
were other problems. I found that typing ctrl-Z (undo) usually restores
the
document to what it should be, but I am now getting new problems I
cannot
quickly see.

Any help would be great.

Cheers,

Donald
