How can Word recognize two consecutive tables as separate?
I created a table of contents, inserted a page break (also tried a section
break) and then created a table of authorities. When I select the table of authorities and then press F9 to update it, my table of contents is updated as well. That would not be bad, but this also has the effect of eliminating my table of authorities. Word seems to substitute the revised table of contents for the old table, which it takes to include both the table of contents and the table of authorities. What is the correct procedure for a) creating; and b) updating two consecutive table, so that they update separately or at least so that on an update, one table doesn't get deleted. |

Make sure you have an empty paragraph between the tables (in addition to any
page breaks, section breaks, etc.). -- Suzanne S.

I had thought that since the advent of styles, empty paragraphs had been
banished from proper Word usage. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Make sure you have an empty paragraph between the tables (in addition to any page breaks, section breaks, etc.). -- Suzanne S.

This is one of the few places where it's prudent to include one--and do it
*before* you insert the TOC, or at least with the field code displayed; otherwise it is almost certain to get inside the TOC field, where it will be deleted when you update the TOC. -- Suzanne S.
