Table of Contents - Numbering keeps changing
I am using Word 2003. My boss gave me a large document with 140 pages that
he needed a table of contents for. So I created a TOC using Word's help section. I used the Outline toolbar to select the various words that I needed to place in the Table of Contents - which I selected and changed from body text to level 1 or so on. Then I went to Insert-Reference-Index and Tables and then selected a format to use. Word then created the TOC on its own and it worked fine. But now, when I print preview - the page numbers in the TOC all say 1 when the document has so many pages. So I go back and update the page numbers and all is fine, but then it changes on its own again. Any idea of what I am doing wrong here???? Is there a reason Word would do that? I am not an expert in Word...as I don't use it on a daily basis. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

Hi ?B?bGltaXRlZCBjb21wdXRlciBrbm93bGVkZ2U=?=,

So I go back and update the page numbers and all is fine, but then it changes on its own again. Any idea of what I am doing wrong here???? Is there a reason Word would do that? I know this happens, but I can't remember the reason (if, indeed, a reason is known). However, you can lock the TOC so that sending the document to the printer won't change the result: Select the TOC. Press Ctrl+F11. Print. If you ever need to update the TOC later, select and press Ctrl+Shift+F11.
