The root of the problem is that in Word, a manual page break will have
the style of the following paragraph. And if the paragraph at the
break has one or more spaces in it, it will be in the table of
contents, with the text of the following paragraph. (It is possible
that this bug is slightly different in different versions of Word.)

As a rule of thumb, always use "Page break before" formatting instead
of manual page breaks. It is flexible: you can add it manually, via
FormatParagraph, or you can add it to the style definition, if your
heading should always start on a new page.

Note, however, that there is no "paragraph level replacement" for
section breaks.

Thank you, that did the trick.

I guess I'm a little confussed now. Why did I only have that one
occurance?
Is there a rule of thumb for using this method of page breaks rather
than the
mannual method?

delete
it and add "Page break before" formatting (via the Paragraph

Is there a setting that causes this? What can I do to avoid
this?
