Updating Index renumbers pages in the body of the document

[Guest]

I am using Woord 2002 SP3 and I have a document with two sections. The first
is 10 pages and has page numbers i-x. The second section has about 73 pages
numbered 1-73. There are several indices. The first is a general index and
the rest have specific flags (\f value).

When I update the main index it renumbers the pages in the main body of the
document. Page 1 becomes page 11 and so forth. This only happens when I
update the main index. If I update another index, everything is fine. How
can I keep the index update from renumbering the pages. I can renumber the
pages, but the references in the index are wrong.

Thanks,

Stephen

It seems to me I've seen this mentioned, once or twice, in the last ten years,
but I can't recall the details. The one things that occurs to me to try would
be to delete the index (maybe even all the indexes), including its section
breaks, and then recreate it from scratch. Could just be some damage, somewhere
in the field codes or section breaks is causing the problem.
