You don't say what version of Word you are using, the following is for 2003
and prior, for 2007 hopefully these instructions will pont the way to a
solution.
Two operations to hopefully correct this.
1. Tools, Options, General tab, uncheck the "Allow starting in Reading
Layout".
2. Format, Columns, select "One" in the Presets (even if it already
selected), OK.

You TOC should know be OK. Save the file, this should confirm the changes
for next time.
Hope this helps

I have created a TOC but everytime the document is closed and opened again,
the page numbers show one number (e.g. all page numbers are "3"). You have to
update it again. How can I stop this from happening?
