Table of Contents (number mess)
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Mojave (10.14)
More information might be needed. Are those pages out of order in the table of contents or are they listed in the right order but with what you think are the wrong page numbers? Did you look at those pages to see what their page numbers are?
First guess is that you have a section break and new page numbers in the second section. It can look like that, but would typically start at a lower number, like 1. So, I wonder if you accidentally inserted a section break instead of a page break a few pages prior to that.
Hi brijpur,
Delete the TOC and the automatic Page Break that follows it.
Rebuild the TOC:
With the cursor at the start of your document, Menu > Insert > Table of Contents > Document
Any improvement?

Ian.
Hi brijpur,
If you suspect that the document is corrupted,
Menu > Edit > Select All.
Menu Edit > Copy.
Open a new blank document from Template Chooser and Menu > Edit > Paste and Match Style.
All the paragraphs will become Body Style (sorry!)
Now change the chapter headings to Header Style (or some other Paragraph Style that is listed as a TOC Style).
Insert a TOC.
Any improvement?
Regards,
Ian.
Hmm. If you think it is corruption, you might try changing the TOC to be for just the section then change it back to entire document and see if it rebuilds correctly.
Thanks for the reply,
I would say they were in the right order and I did tend to delete some contents. The page number seems fine. T have a feeling the TOC numbering is messed up as I did as a section break and deleted it later on. After doing all that the TOC is not automatically updating to the correct numbers. What do you reckon..?
Will give it a try and gey back with you..
Unfortunately, It does not seem to work. I have no idea how to go about this. What is the option we have to fix this..?
Hi Ian,
Thanks for helping out.. Does not seem to work. I have a feeling it's corrupted. Probably messed with it.
For now I am going to use it without the page numbers as I can't seem to find a fix...
Hi Ian,
Gave it a try and the page numbers were the same. I think its the TOC field codes are messed up.
Thank you for your help.
