TOC problems

[Guest]

I posted this last week in Page Layout with no response. I hope someone can
help here. I am using Word 2003.

I have a 130-page manual - chapter headings, sub-headings, etc., all marked
for the TOC. I generate it -- it looks fine -- all headings are there -- all
page numbering is correct. I go into Print Preview and the page numbering in
all headings changes to 1! I close Print Preview and it stays at 1. I have to
update the page #s. Sometimes the page numbering reverts to 2, or starts out
OK, but in a later chapter goes to 18 or some other number. I did a search
for page breaks that may have hidden text format -- and there were none. Any
ideas of why this keeps happening and how to make it stop?

thanks!

Suzanne. I believe you've solved my problem. The headers/footers do have a 1
column/1 cell table. I've removed the table - haven't updated the TOC yet,
but I'm sure this is the problem.

Thanks SOOO much!!

The table per se is not the issue. The issue is having a wrapped graphic
anchored to text in the table. If you anchor the graphic outside the table
(and there will be--has to be--at least one text paragraph, even if it's
empty, outside the table), you won't have the problem.
