MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / December 2007TOC page numbers lost when doc is opened from email
In Word 2003, XP, a document seems OK over-all, but when it's emailed and opened from the email (Outlook), the TOC gets in trouble. When the document is first opened from email, it's in Reading View, and the TOC is correct. But when the document is changed to Print View, all the page numbers from 3 on are reset to 3, which is the page with the TOC. When the doc is put back in Reading View, the page numbers stay wrong-- they do not go back to the correct numbers. The only TOC field option in use is \u, and no styles are specified. That is, only standard headings are part of it. This problem doesn't happen when the doc is opened normally. Any advice appreciated.  SignatureChristopher Brewster Lockheed Martin, Eagan MN This is a known bug when a document is opened in Reading Layout view. You have three options: 1. Suggest that recipients save the document to the hard drive before opening; documents opened from the hard drive don't open in Reading Layout view. 2. If recipients insist on opening the document directly from the attachment, suggest that they disable Reading Layout view (Tools | Options | General). They may thank you for the information on how to do this. 3. If recipients insist on opening the document directly from the attachment and prefer not to disable Reading Layout view, suggest that, after switching to some other view, they update the TOC (F9), which will correct the numbering. Notice that in all three cases, all you can do is "suggest." There is *nothing* you can do on your end to solve the problem; your recipients must take action to solve or avoid it. SignatureSuzanne S.
