Strangest thing happened with a TOC
I have just had the strangest thing happen with an auto-generated TOC and
cannot recreate the problem to know how it may have happened. I have a file that has about a dozen different Title styles so that I can run a separate TOC for each Title group. All of the groups from page 349 have page 349 for the page number. If you use the hyperlink, it takes you to the correct page (not pg. 349), but it reads 349. If it's undated, it's fine. Unfortunately, it went to the client this way and I haven't a clue how it happened. I'd like to try to figure it out so that it won't happen again. Is there any automatic setting in options that would cause this? We tried everything we could think of to mess it up that way and couldn't make it do it. Any ideas? I'd be glad to send the file to someone who wants to try to figure it out. Thanks! |

I've had no replies to this... no ideas why this would happen? I got another
email from the client this morning that the file was fine before they posted the Word file to the website, but the links were wrong after posting. I know nothing of posting files to a website, but can't imagine why the links would be wrong upon posting. The TOC consists of a separate TOC for each Title style (about 12) and then another TOC that was generated including all of the Title styles and then rearranged alphabetically (manually moved around), also including some hidden text in a TOC field code with switches. I really need help with this one please. "RoxSn" wrote: I have just had the strangest thing happen with an auto-generated TOC and cannot recreate the problem to know how it may have happened.

Thanks Charles. I was a bit worried when I saw six pages of new posts and
thought I'd be lost in the pile. Looks like it's been a very busy weekend too. We're getting a lot of pressure from the project leader and she's getting pressure from the clients for us to figure this out, but I'll just ask them to be patient and keep trying to figure it out. They want to post the file to their website since that's what we're supposed to be supplying but they can't until we figure out why this is happening. I've tried everything I know to recreate the problem and haven't been able to. It sounds like it has something to do with either the posting or maybe they do something to the file before posting.
