I have Word 2003, professional version. Every once in a while, my TOC changes
all the numbers to 3. They way I fix it is I right click on my mouse and
click on update field - page numbers only.

Is a bug in word? How do I fix it? This does not happen all the time. Other
users have the same problem, but again, not all the time...

Reading Layout could be the cause of this problem. You can turn it off
on the General tab of ToolsOptions, by clearing the check box for
"Allow starting in Reading Layout."

Stefan,

Thanks for the quick response. I have made the setting change and will
monitor over the next few days as this issue is intermittent. I will send a
post back by the end of the week, if not earlier.

Thanks again,

Larry

Hi Stefan,

Looks like your suggestion fixed the problem. Thank you. I have been
monitoring the last few days and have not noticed any occurences of the
problem. I do have several questions:

Why does this only happen with Word 2003 Professional Edition?
Is this issue something unique to me and other users who have the same
version of word? I do know that it has occurred with at least one other
person. I do not know what version they are using.
Should I advise users to peform the same fix with anyone using Word 2003
Professional?
Will this issue be addressed in the next version of Word?

Any other information you can provide would be helpful and much appreciated.

Thank you!

Larry

Reading Layout view was introduced in Word 2003, so the issue is not
relevant to previous versions.

Suzanne,

Thank you for your response. Can you answer my two other questions please?

Should I advise users to peform the same fix with anyone using Word 2003
Professional?
Will this issue be addressed in the next version of Word?

Plus, is this considered a bug or feature?

Hey - This is great to fix a single PC but we have roughly 400 PC's in use in
our organization, all of which use MS Office 2K3 Professional. Is there an
easy way to turn this off for a large number of users?

Cheers!
Ben

I have it and have never turned it on (since clicking on it once to
see what it did). Why would anyone even think of using it?
