Here's my template/document setup:
Cover page
section break, odd page
Table of Contents (it is a long document and the TOC covers several
pages)
section break, odd page
First body page, starting with Heading1. Heading1 includes "page break
before"

This works fine until I replace the TOC (Insert/Reference/Index and
Tables/Table of Contents) to reflect revisions. The replacement removes the
following section break and any other breaks on that page. Workarounds I have
tried:
1.) Manually insert several paragraph breaks between TOC and section
break before performing replacement. But all of these lines are removed. Same
if adding extra non-paragraph line breaks, column breaks, etc.
2.) Manually define TOC, being careful not to define extra paragraph
breaks or section break. On manual delete, all of these lines are removed.
3.) Also, after replacement, sometimes the €œpage break before€� setting
for Heading1 is ignored and Heading1 appears immediately following the TOC on
the same page.

Manually adding the page break after each replacement causes repagination,
so then the page numbers in the TOC are wrong.

Environment: Windows XP Pro w/ SP2, Office/Word 2003 w/ SP1
