Table of Contents - Page Numbers
When I open the document the TOC has all the same number for the page numbers
for all the sections. I can update the page numbers and it correctly changes the numbers. Once I save and close the document - if I send it to another person it reverts back to the same number for all page numbers and you have to update the page numbers again. How do I keep the page numbers correct and send the document to others with the correct page numbers. |

Table of Contents - Page Numbers
This is a common result of opening a document in Reading Layout view. There
are three ways to avoid this, but in no case is there anything you can do beyond making recommendations to the recipient: 1. You can suggest that the recipient disable Reading Layout view (Tools | Options | General). 2. Since Reading Layout view is the default only for documents opened directly from an attachment, you can suggest that the recipient first save the document to the HD and open it from there rather than open the attachment directly. 3. You can suggest that the recipient, after switching from Reading Layout view to another view, update the TOC (F9). -- Suzanne S.

Table of Contents - Page Numbers
Thank you - I have been spending many hours reformating and redoing the TOC.
I am also glad to know how to disable the reading layout view - and that is exactly what happens when you open the document - it goes to reading layout and then I switch to print layout and the problem is there and then I update the TOC. I appreciate your time and answer to a frustrating problem. Kat "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: This is a common result of opening a document in Reading Layout view.
