MS Word Legal and Corporate - Get It Done Please…

 MS Word Legal and Corporate - Get It Done Please…



Scenario:  Attorney has a 47 separate Heading document.  The “Conclusion” Heading keeps saying 48 instead of Section 47.  Each separate section is being controlled by the style Heading 1.  With me so far?

  1.  For the first order of business, I ask the secretary if she would go into the multilevel outline dialogue box and confirm that Level 1 is “Linked” to Heading 1.  That was confirmed.
  2. I then had her go to the conclusion page (Control End), and strip the Heading 1 style off of the conclusion title.  Of course we used Control Shift N, and I then had her reapply the Heading 1 but it still read Section 48 when it should read Section 47.
  3. Meanwhile the attorney is asking what is going on and where is the document.
  4. Everything else up to the end of Section 46 was fine and I noticed that there was a page break to separate the Conclusion page.  I placed my cursor on the page break and when looking at the style box it read “Heading 1”.  That was the culprit.  The page break accidentally had a heading 1 attached to it.  I left the page break alone (kept in place), but stripped the page break back to normal, using Control Shift N.
  5. We then re-ran the TOC where we made sure we updated the entire TOC not just the page numbers.  Now the correct number of Sections is reflected in the TOC.

Next time this occurs in your everyday work you will have a great head start as to what is causing the skip in numbers.
