SYMPTOMS
When you create a table of contents entry field (that is, a TC field) that
contains quoted material at the end of the TC field, the table of contents
shows the entry concluding with a backslash (\) rather than a quotation
mark as its final character.
This behavior occurs when the Replace Straight Quotes With Smart Quotes
option is not enabled.
For example, the following item in the document
Use of the Phrase "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
appears in the TC field as
{TC "Use of the Phrase \"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.\" "}
and appears in the table of contents as:
Use of the Phrase "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.\
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
WORKAROUND
Place a period or a nonbreaking space between the final two quotation
marks. (To create a nonbreaking space, press CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR.)
{TC "Use of the Phrase \"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.\"."}
{TC "Use of the Phrase \"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.\"<nb space>"}
