Re: TOC numbering problem

If the document is correct leaving you and incorrect when they open it, then
I think they'll find it will still be correct provided they don't open it in
Reading Layout view. Also, as I said, it is my understanding that if they
switch to some over view and F9 to update the TOC it will be corrected.

Thanks!

Do I need to do anything else to the document? Or just have them change
the
Reading Layout View?

Corruption of the TOC is usually a result of opening the document in
Reading
Layout view (F9 should cure it). Tell recipients to clear the check box
for
"Allow starting in Reading Layout" on the General tab of Tools |
Options.

Everyone,

I'm using Word 2003 with WinXP.

I have a puzzling problem - I'm working with a colleague who has
created
a
54 page doc. He's created a TOC which reflects the correct page
numbers.

He then saved the doc...and when he (or anyone else) opens it, the TOC
shows
everything on Page 3.

When you scroll through the doc, the page numbers are correct - and
when
you
refresh the TOC, the page numbers go back to normal.

Any ideas? They would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Laura
