Default Incorrect page numbers in TOC after saving as Template

1. Create a document with TOC
2. Save as MS Word template
3. Close and reopen the template
4. All the page numbers in TOC get reset to 2 or 3 (depending on the first
page number in the TOC)
5. Pressing F9 does regenerate the correct page numbers.

But if I want to upload the template into source control it will always have
incorrect page numbers. Can someone please help? I have MS Word 2003.

Thanks!

Does the template still contain the content to which the TOC is linked?

Yes the template has all the content. Just the TOC has incorrect page numbers.

Do they remain incorrect if you update the TOC with F9?

They correct themselves after pressing F9. But the point is I can never
generate a template on my machine with correct page numbers. Also if I open a
template that someone else has sent, again all the page numbers are incorrect.
I am ok regenerating numbers but it is very hard when you have to design
templates and share them with a group and expect everyone to update page
numbers.
Is there any patch I can apply to fix this issue? Furthermore there are
several users of MS Word 2003 (even at work) and most of them I know don't
have this issue.

Thanks!

I'm curious about what sort of "template" this is that is apparently being
used as a document. My idea of a template is a framework to which you add
content; this would change the TOC to begin with, so of course it would need
updating.
