Problems with Table of Contents
I've created a doc. that is very similar to another ( by using the 'Replace'
function to change one word to another throughout the document). This seems to have caused a problem for the TOC- it says everything is on page '0' and will not update. I've tried deleting the table and inserting a new one but it comes up with a message asking if I want to replace the existing table (which no longer exists!!). If I click 'Yes' it does not insert anything; if I click 'No' it inserts a TOC which again says everything is on page '0'. The same thing happens for the table of figures and table of tables! |

Problems with Table of Contents
In the original document, does the TOC work OK there? No error message
or incorrect page numbers if you try to update it? If everything seems OK in the original, then clearly something has happened to the copy. One thing to try is the following: Copy the entire document except the final paragraph mark into a newly created file, and see if that helps.
