table of contents
I have a really messy (possessed) document. I copied alot of the contents
from other outside source and they used section breaks instead of page breaks throughout. That being said, my Table of Contents shows one of the items being on page 0. How do I correct this? Kelli |

Since page numbering can be restarted after a section break, most
likely this is causing your problem. Make sure the insertion point is in the section where the problematic heading is. On the View menu, click Header and Footer. On the Header/Footer toolbar, click the Format Page Number button. Word displays the Page Number Format dialog box. Is "Start At" set to zero? If it is, change this to the appropriate value or, if you simply want numbering to continue from the previous section, make sure you select the "Continue from previous section" option. Click OK to close the Page Number Format dialog box. Click Close on the toolbar to return to the main document. Does this fix the problem? -- Stefan Blom "Kelli" wrote in message ...

Of course, you'll have to update the TOC in order to see your changes!
(You can right-click the TOC field and choose to "Update Field" or, with the cursor inside the TOC, press F9 on your keyboard.) -- Stefan Blom "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

Hi Stefan
Thank you very much. You were most helpful. Now my TOC is exactly the way it should be. I'm not familar with section breaks therefore - at this point - hate them immensely, but I need to keep practicing to become more comfortable/knowledgeable. Thanks again.

I'm glad I could help.
If you want to learn more about sections, see: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...thSections.htm. You'll find that they are not at all easy to deal with, but sometimes you have to... -- Stefan Blom "Kelli" wrote in message ... Hi Stefan Thank you very much. You were most helpful.
