... my table of contents has a duplicate line ...
I have create a Table of Content and the first line in the table has been
duplicated. I can't figure out what has caused this. I have even deleted the heading and repalced it and updated the table, and there is still a duplicate of the first line. Summary...............3 Summary...............3 Is there a setting that causes this? What can I do to avoid this? Darrell |

Is there a manual page break in the heading paragraph? If so, delete
it and add "Page break before" formatting (via the Paragraph dialog box, Line and Page Breaks tab) instead. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Dr. Darrell" wrote: I have create a Table of Content and the first line in the table has been duplicated.

... my table of contents has a duplicate line ...
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?

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. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Dr. Darrell" wrote in message ... Thank you, that did the trick.
