Hey,

I have created a template with a Table of Contents, and when I edit the template everything looks perfect, with correct page numbers in the TOC. However, when I try to create a new document based on this template, for some reason all of the page numbers in the TOC revert back to page 3 (the TOC is on page 6). If I right-click the table of contents and do an update field, it fixes the page numbers, but I have had people complain that the page numbers aren't automatically correct when they create a new document.

Have any of you come across this problem before? Any ideas on how I can fix it?

Thanks,

Chris

I don't see a question, or a problem description. So no, under these
circumstances, I don't think anyone can help you...

I have already made the only suggestion I could come up with.

Put an autonew macro in the template that contains the following code:

Dim TOC As Field
For Each TOC In ActiveDocument.Fields
If TOC.Type = wdFieldTOC Then
TOC.Update
End If
Next TOC

Or possible just

ActiveDocument.Fields.Update

would be enough.

Doug -

Thank you so much for the help...it's working great! Wonder why M$ didn't do this by default?

I have had a similar problem to this one. When I save a document to the
desktop, the table of contents feature is fine, but once attached to an
email, all of the page numbers revert to page 2. I have noticed other posts
on this topic, and am wondering if it is a "bug" in the new Microsoft Office
Program. If not, does anyone know how to fix it other than making a TOC
manually?
