A pleasure. We all do it! I'm an editor by profession and I look at every
book I've edited when I get my free copy of the finished article. I nearly
always find one error that I've missed and once I found one that I'd
introduced!

'getting your documents to like right'

Ian,

This looks like the sort of problem that DocTidy should fix for you.

DocTidy is software that I have developed which sorts out many
formatting problems in Word.

I'm always on the look out for problem documents with which I can
further test and refine our software.

If your document is one you could share with me, I would love the
opportunity to run it through our software and see how it performs.

Let me know if this is something you would be interested in trying.

If you want to take a look at the Home user version of the software,
just go to our site at www.kutchka.com

Cheers
Mike

The duplication of Heading 1 almost certainly results from a manual

No, there was no page break, and all Heading 1 lines are formatted as
"Page Break Before".


For the rest, do your headings actually use Heading 1 and Heading 2
(built-in styles)?

Yes.


If they use other styles, have you selected these in the
TOC Options?

N/A


Are any of the headings in text boxes?

No.

However, I have now persuaded Word to update the ToC. To do this, I
switched from Print Layout View to Normal View. But instead of updating
the ToC almost instantaneously, everything froze with the hourglass
showing for over 6 *minutes* before the new ToC appeared!

As I explained originally, this problem only arose after I copied some
pages from another document. In that other document, ToC update works
fine.

Weird!

I am now tempted to create a new document and paste the old document
into it, to see if the problem goes away. However, if I do this, how do
I include the tracked changes in the new document? Readers will need to
see the changes.
