Everyone,

I'm using Word 2003 with WinXP.

I have a puzzling problem - I'm working with a colleague who has created a
54 page doc. He's created a TOC which reflects the correct page numbers.

He then saved the doc...and when he (or anyone else) opens it, the TOC shows
everything on Page 3.

When you scroll through the doc, the page numbers are correct - and when you
refresh the TOC, the page numbers go back to normal.

Any ideas? They would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Laura

Corruption of the TOC is usually a result of opening the document in Reading
Layout view (F9 should cure it). Tell recipients to clear the check box for
"Allow starting in Reading Layout" on the General tab of Tools | Options.

Thanks!

Do I need to do anything else to the document? Or just have them change the
Reading Layout View?

If the document is correct leaving you and incorrect when they open it, then
I think they'll find it will still be correct provided they don't open it in
Reading Layout view. Also, as I said, it is my understanding that if they
switch to some over view and F9 to update the TOC it will be corrected.
