Hi Suzanne,
I was wondering if you've ever heard of this bug? I couldn't find
reference to it anywhere else. Are you able to verify the same thing?
My TOC was ending on page vi, then the field was throwing a blank page
(page vii), then came the unwanted auto-generated blank invisible page
(page viii), and then the odd page break was giving its page to start
the new chapter (page 9).
Can you duplicate this? Thanks!

I think you will need to remove the Odd Page section break.

Hi Suzanne,
Here is my code.
{·TOC·\h·\z·\t·"Yunique·-·Arial·24·
(Header),1,Yunique·-·Arial·16·
(Header),3,Yunique·-·Arial·20·(Header),2"·}¶
¶
{·IF·{·=MOD(·{·PAGE·},2)·}·=·0·"·"·"¶
[PAGE BREAK]
"·}[SECTION BREAK (ODD PAGE)]
I've tried slight variations, but none have made a difference. Any
suggestions? Thanks Suzanne!

Hi Suzanne,
Yes. I made sure that my field was outside the TOC field brackets. I
have it butted right up against the end bracket of the TOC field just
to make sure that it was registering the proper page when deciding to
add a blank page, or not, but it is definitely outside of the TOC's end
bracket, but I still have this problem. Any other suggestions?
I also noticed that the example code on the web page was a little
different from the actual field code in the example word file that you
could download. The downloadable Word file had more spaces in places,
so I added those to my own field code for this, but unfortunately it
did not help.

Working around a TOC is always touchy. It is very easy to get page
breaks,
paragraph breaks, and pretty much anything else inside the TOC field
code
(where it is deleted the next time you update the TOC). Make very sure
that
you're in a separate paragraph from the TOC (with an empty paragraph
in
between for good measure) when you insert the field, be sure to update
fields when printing, don't print with field codes displayed, etc.

Hi Suzanne,
I did what you said, but the field is still throwing an extra page,
even though the field is landing on an even page number. So since
it's
an even page, it shouldn't be throwing a blank page, right?
Could the problem be with the fact that I'm using this field right
after a TOC and because when looking at the document using field
codes
view the field lands on an odd page, but in the normal view, when
the
TOC is populated, it lands on an even page? You know what I mean?
Could that be it? Thanks.

Hi. Okay. I have been battling agains Word 2003 for some time
now
with this formatting thing. I have read a lot of newsgroup
posts
here
that all leade to this page
(http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...nPgEndChap.htm) on
how
to
do an odd page break and be able to put header and footer
information
on that even, blank page that gets inserted.
I have used the code from that page
(http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...nPgEndChap.htm) and
it
worked in the beginning of my document when I went from the
table
of
contents to chapter 1. But as soon as I got done with chapter 1
and
inserted another one of these special codes for the start of
chapter
2,
the first one (after the table of contents) wasn't working
anymore.
What I mean by that is the TOC ended on page 6, but the the code
went
ahead and inserted a blank page (page 7) with my header and
footer
on
it, and then one of those MS Word, autogenerated blank pages got
inserted for page 8, and then my chapter 1 started on page 9.
I don't know why after entering this suggested code a second
time
in
the document caused the first one to start behaving incorrectly.
Any
ideas? I'd appreciate any help because this is driving me
absolutely
nuts! Thanks!
