Table of Contents Page # Error Word 2007-2003
I'm using Word 2007 and my clients all use Word 2003. I created a doc in
compatibility mode, including a one-page Table of Contents (TOC), and it looked fine on my monitor. When my client received the doc via e-mail, not only was the TOC on two pages, but all the page numbers had changed to 1 and the page breaks on his version were in different areas of the document from what I was showing. Under a very strict time deadline, I manually generated the TOC and that worked, but then had to drive to my client's officeto fix the page breaks. I needed to ensure the pages ended in certain spots of the doc. Any ideas what caused this and how I can fix it in case it happens again? Thanks! |

Different computer, different printer, different printer driver.

Use your client's printer driver when formatting its documents. Make sure
the automatically update document styles is not selected on the templates and add-ins dialog. Make sure you are using fonts that your client has€”or Word 2003 will make font substitutions, which could change pagination.

Thanks Pam, I will try that. I expected there to be some minor difference to
the doc, but not the major differences I was seeing. Was unable to put it in format as others in other states needed to add to it & needs to be with a state governmental entity by a specific time on Monday. Still unsure why the TOC kept changing all the page #s to 1, but at least I found a quick fix. Thanks for your advice!

Maybe this MS help and support page "The page numbers in the table of
contents are incorrectly displayed when you open a document in Word 2003 or in Word 2002 " will help http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912940 PamC Kym wrote: Thanks Pam, I will try that.
