Microsoft Word or Microsoft Outlook Issues???

[thelamberts]

Hi all

Any document that contains a TOC (Table of Contents) which I create with Microsoft Word 2003 then save locally and subsequently email (Outlook 2003) someone on our LAN (Local Area Network); the TOC page numbering is messed up if the recipient opens the document within the email client. The recipient must save the file locally and reopen the saved file and perform a TOC update to bring the numbering back into line.

A retrieval (locally or LAN share) of any document containing TOC is well behaved otherwise.

It does not seem to matter whether the senders or recipients use mixed HTML or Text formats in Outlook either.

Is this SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) or am I missing something?

This not only occurs with my documents containing TOC; but LAN wide.

OS (Operating System) Lan Wide = Windows XP Pro SP2
All LAN users have MS Office 2003 also.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Marty

Page numbering in Word is affected by the printer selected. The users probably have different default printers. There is not really much you can do about this. The solution you have found is what works.
