First heading appears twice in TOC !
Is there a manual page break before the first Heading 2? This will cause the
heading to be repeated. Apply "Page break before" to the paragraph/style instead. -- Suzanne S.

I deleted ity completely, it disappeared from TOC, reinserted it - it appears twice. Am I seeing things or is this really happening? |

That was it! Thanks a lot.
Weird... is that considered a bug? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Is there a manual page break before the first Heading 2? This will cause the heading to be repeated.

Not exactly. A manual page break acquires the style of the following
paragraph. -- Suzanne S.

No, but it is a very good reason for using the "page break before"
formatting in your Heading 1 style. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

I agree with the "page break before", but still consider this behaviour a bug (or a least a bad design decision, if it was a concious decision at all :-)).

The thing you need to understand what is happening is that in Word
structure, the page break is not a type of paragraph mark but rather is inside the following paragraph and a part of it. This isn't logical, but it is how Word is built. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Hi Charles
Charles Kenyon wrote: The thing you need to understand what is happening is that in Word structure, the page break is not a type of paragraph mark but rather is inside the following paragraph and a part of it. I see that, and that's the main reason why we all advice users to avoid those breaks (typically, in long documents before Headings). It's still pretty counter-intuitive why the PageBreak shouldn't be a ParagraphBreak automatically. This isn't logical, but it is how Word is built. Full ack.

First heading appears twice in TOC !
This constantly drives me nuts. Why would I want to write a paragraph using
styles after it? This is really a problem when i edit a big document and delete a section. For some retarded reason, Word thinks I want to keep the format of the section I deleted, not the section above it that I want to keep. -- ~~ B.

The issue you are describing is unrelated to the problem with page breaks
discussed earlier in this thread. The reason why sections behave the way you have noticed is that a section break stores the formatting of the *preceding* section. When the break is deleted, the formatting of the next section break is being applied. See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...thSections.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Brian" wrote in message ... This constantly drives me nuts.
