MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / October 2004Updating TOC removes section or page break
Using Word 2002. I'm also having a TOC update entire table removes section break problem. I've tried adding additional paragraphs and formating the first paragraph after the TOC as "page break before" and nothing has worked. This is a pain because I have to go back to my headers/footers to put my numbering back to i, ii, for the TOC. Any other places to look to resolve this problem? TIA I would say that the problem is still that the section break is inside the TOC field.  SignatureSuzanne S.

When you say TOC field,I got something here I don't understand. I I place my insert at the end of my last TOC entry and hit Return, the insert moves to the beginning of the next line and I show Normal in the Style area. If I do another return I get another paragraph mark at the beginning of the line and show Nomal in the style area. This is where I did the Break Odd Page. Based on your response, I placed my curser next to one of the paragraph marks I inserted and right click and sure enough it offers Update Field! It is acting as though it is in a TOC yet the Style area shows normal. Now when I move down to my first line of text after the TOC and right click the Update Field option is no longer present. I can put paragraph marks down the length of the page and they still offer a context entry for TOC. I guess my question is how do I establish or get out of a TOC field? Or how do I tell Word I want the TOC to end here and resume Body or something. TIA My first line of text after the TOC was a Heading Style 1 entry. I got a break out of the TOC field by momentarily making the Heading Style 1 a Body style, placing my insert at the beginning of the now Body Style and doing a return. Then reestablished my Heading 1 but now I had a paragraph mark no in the TOC field, did my break and its okay now. Is there another way to do this? The safest way is to display the TOC field code (Alt+F9) and make sure that any break you insert is outside it. As you have found, it is safer to do this by pressing Enter at the beginning of the following paragraph. In future, you might want to make sure that you have at least one empty paragraph below the paragraph in which you are inserting the TOC. SignatureSuzanne S.
