Most of the info stays the same -- minimal changes... deletions, additions, text updates... are made. It's about 28 pages long. When the user creates a new document based on the template, the toc displays all page numbers as 3 instead of the correct page. The user must update the toc to get the correct page numbers. I know if you make changes you sometimes have to update the toc, but this seems like an odd (buggy almost) behavior. Anyone have any thoughts? Susan H.

Apparently, the customer he wrote this template for can?t be bothered. My latest suggestion was to add the tod update command to the open, save, and print events. I do find it curious though that the template can?t maintain the right page numbers before editing.
