Default Same page numbers in TOC

I have a rather odd problem involving the TOC of a large Word 2003 document.
It is about 25 megs of text and graphics with styles applied. This is a
document that is revised every six months or so.

For some reason, when in Print Preview, the TOC shows up as all the same
page number. The page number generated is always the one on the following
page. For example, if you click on Print Preview on page 4, then the TOC
shows everything is located on page 5. When I close Print Preview, the TOC
page numbers have changed to reflect that single number and, when printed, it
is still that wrong single number.

I have deleted the TOC and inserted a new one and the same thing happened.
The "Allow starting in Reading Layout" is turned off. This happens when doing
a Print Preview and also when the document is closed and reopened.

I was finally able to get it to look right on the screen and print right by
doing the 'Open and Repair' procedure but, when I do the Print Preview, it
still shows that all the topics are on the same page.

I told my customer (in jest) to not look at the Print Preview, but there is
still something obviously wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks,
