Well... the good news is that it seems to be a limited document corruption
problem. One can hope that it was the freak combination of a specific set of
bits and bytes and that it will not recur.
I would try "laundering" the document by saving it in rtf format, closing
it, opening the rtf file, saving that in Word format, closing it, then
re-opening it, and see if the problem still happens. Note that closing
between the steps is crucial to actually forcing the laundering process to
work... assuming it does work.

Hello -
It is really strange as this does not seem to be happening for new
documents based on the same normal.dot. *I did a little "experiment"
with the existing document where I copied section by section to a new
document. *The problem started when I copied the 50th Header 1 to the
new document (BTW ... the document only has the Header 1 level). *So I
created another empty document with just Header 1 followed by a Normal
paragraph and the TOC. *In that document, the problem does not seem to
exist.
So I don't know where that leaves me. *It seems like something in that
document is corrupted but not even copying it section by section to a
new document seems to help.
Thanks,
Joe
Hello -
Wow ... that did the job! The document is even a little smaller now!
I just with Microsoft could do that laundry from within the
application but oh well ...
Thanks a lot!
