Table of contents - Title on a seperate page

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a problem with my TOC.

It is all up to date with the correct syles applied to each
heading/sub-heading/sub-sub-heading but the table of contents is not showing
as I would like!

The TOC is long enough to span across 3 pages, but the Table of Contents
'title' is appearing on page 1, with nothing underneath it. The actual
contents then starts on page 2 and continues on to 3 and 4!!

E.g

____________
Title |
<blank> |
<blank> |
<blank> |
<blank> |
_________p1 |
____________
start of cont's |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
5 |
_________p2 |
____________
more conts |
6 |
7 |
8 |
9 |
10 |
_________p3|


I have looked and can see no breaks (page or section) and have also tried
changing the style of the TOC so that the spacing in between each line is
less.

No joy!

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

G

It would appear to be something with the paragraph formatting option "Keep
with next".

I turned this on and it seemed to fix the problem.

Should I only allow it for the TBL Contents Heading style so it doesn't mess
up the rest of my (250+) page document!?!

Thanks

G

What happens if you format the paragraph containing your Title to be "keep
with next?"

Thanks for your input Charles. I did actually find that and have posted a
comment before yours saying that 'keep with next' did solve the problem.

Thanks again though )

The issue is with your TOC styles, which are probably all set to KWN.
Instead, format just TOC 1 or TOC 1 and TOC 2 to this style; leave
lower-level styles alone so that you can have a break between them. The TOC
heading style should also be set to KWN, but doing that alone doesn't really
solve the underlying problem, just hides it.
