I have a TOC that is changign page numbers only in print preview. I open the
doc and all the TOC says a single number as page numbers on every line. I
noticed when it has changed the numbers it stalls before loading the pages
past page one. If it does not make the change it opens the whole doc
immediately. If I close print preview and then go back in it sometimes goes
back to the right TOC page numbers in the print preview. Is there a hotfix
for this that I might not have downloaded? Any help as fast as possible
would be appreciated. I have to get this doc delivered!!!

When you view a document in Print Preview Word will paginate the
document and if you have "Update Fields" turned on under
Tools/Options/Print then the TOC field will update as well. So without
knowing more what you are encountering is 'normal'.

Are you working on the document in Print Layout view or Normal view?
What isn't 'right' about the page numbers in the TOC?

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
