SYMPTOMS
When you open a master document in Page Layout view, page numbers in the
table of contents page may be reset to one.
This problem does not occur when you open the master document in Normal
view, Outline view, or Master Document view.
WORKAROUND
Method 1: Don't Open in Page Layout View
Open the Master Document in a view other than Page Layout view. The table
of contents will reflect the page numbers as expected.
Method 2: Lock the Table of Contents
Select the table of contents, and then press CTRL+F11 or CTRL+3. This will
prevent the TOC field from being updated and will allow you to view your
document in Page Layout view.
NOTE: If you make a change in your document and you need to update your
table of contents, select the table of contents and press CTRL+SHFT+F11 or
CTRL+4. This will unlock the TOC field so it can be updated.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the product versions listed
at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft
Word 97 for Windows.
