after updating the table of contents, you lose all your section b.
I would like to raise the issue that two hours were lost today fighting
bizarre formatting issues in the Word document. I have the latest version of Office (2003) and it behaves much as the last. I am not sure what the source of the problem is, but it is frustrating when, after updating the table of contents, you lose all your section breaks or when you set an item to have a bullet and then all the items have bullets. These are a few examples; there were other problems. I found that typing ctrl-Z (undo) usually restores the document to what it should be, but I am now getting new problems I cannot quickly see. Any help would be great. Cheers, Donald |

I'm guessing that the section breaks have been inserted just before headings
(after the TOC was initially created) and have gotten inside the bookmarks for the headings. When Word updates the bookmarks, the section breaks are being discarded. The alternative would be to have multiple section breaks in the TOC, which would be even more confusing. -- Suzanne S.

after updating the table of contents, you lose all your sectio
I clicked on the link you attached as I'm having this problem. But I'm using
Word 2003. I think the orig doc was created in an older version (maybe 2002). I wasn't the one to open it up originally but it was probably converted to 2003--the cause of the formatting mess. Am I correct? and your advice to fix?
