Re: Table of Contents - Page Numbers

This is a common result of opening a document in Reading Layout view. There
are three ways to avoid this, but in no case is there anything you can do
beyond making recommendations to the recipient:

1. You can suggest that the recipient disable Reading Layout view (Tools |
Options | General).

2. Since Reading Layout view is the default only for documents opened
directly from an attachment, you can suggest that the recipient first save
the document to the HD and open it from there rather than open the
attachment directly.

3. You can suggest that the recipient, after switching from Reading Layout
view to another view, update the TOC (F9).

When I open the document the TOC has all the same number for the page
numbers
for all the sections. I can update the page numbers and it correctly
changes
the numbers. Once I save and close the document - if I send it to another
person it reverts back to the same number for all page numbers and you
have
to update the page numbers again. How do I keep the page numbers correct
and
send the document to others with the correct page numbers.
