Table of contents: bookmark error in Word 2010

Question

Hello,  In my table of contents, when I perform an automatic update, it's complete chaos: I see text appearing in the titles, and sometimes instead of page numbers, I get the message "bookmark error."  I corrected everything manually. Everything seemed fine, but when I started to print, I again got "bookmark error" instead of the numbering for some chapters...  I need to submit my thesis by the end of the week and I'm a bit "stressed."  :-(  Can someone help me?  The best solution would be to prevent the automatic update of the table of contents and keep my manually corrected version even when printing.   Thank you for your help...   Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 10.0

Hello Fred  If text sections appear in the Table of Contents, it's because they are defined as title styles instead of being defined as body text. Therefore, you need to switch all this text to the "Normal" style. There are several ways: - Go to the View tab and check "Navigation Pane" - A pane will open on the left showing the outline of your document and what should make up your table of contents. - Hover the cursor over each misplaced line that shouldn't be displayed: Home tab => styles group => check Normal  For the Table of Contents, you should delete it and recreate it to start fresh after the cleanup you've done.   -- Argitxu

And above all, you have to choose: Either you ask Word for an automatic table of contents, or you do it manually. But trying to update an automatically generated table of contents after modifying it by hand makes no sense!  -- Retirement is nice! Especially in the Caribbean... :-) &#9787; Raymond &#9794;

Hello everyone,  I have sent my files, but I made the mistake of setting the validity to 4 days, so they will disappear soon. I am calling on Mr. Raymond Pentier to help me out (I will resend my files if needed, thank you in advance).  Have a good evening everyone.

Self-troubleshooting procedure: 1) right-click in the table of contents 2) Update fields / Update entire table 3) Identify the texts inappropriately placed in the table of contents; in the received file, there is only "Cholande" on page 112; do [ctrl+click] on it to go to page 112 4) click in the text, and in the Styles tool, where the recipes style is selected, click on Normal.  I want to clarify that the repair for the "vôtes" has held ...  Best regards. -- Retirement is great! Especially in the Caribbean ... :-) &#9787; Raymond &#9794;

Good evening, Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.  I have done what you suggested (I had already done it by going through references and updating the whole table but it didn’t change anything) and I had also checked the styles before calling for help, but the result is the same, it just doesn’t want to work!!!!  I am resending the file: http://cjoint.com/?CLlsoIWhI3w  I am also resending the second file: http://cjoint.com/?CLlrTmnXdUW (I verified that it works when I sent it to my second account)  Thank you in advance  Have a good evening

Hello everyone,Although I sent back my two files, I haven't received a solution. I'm bumping the post because I don't want it to get buried. Thank you in advance, everyone.Siminou42

If you want it to work, you need to follow the instructions given to you!  You did not carry out point 4 "click in the text, and in the Styles tool, where the recipes style is selected, click on Normal" at the bottom of page 112 ...  -- Retirement is great!

For the file pom-text, you need to remove the option "Update automatically" in the Edit style window.  But to make up for it, you select the title; you hit Cut; you hit Paste with the option Keep only text; you can now apply your style.  -- Retirement is nice!

Good evening,  Thank you for your responses,  I had indeed set my text with the normal style but it didn't work anyway (I had understood that there was one style for the title and another for the text that I always checked) but on the other hand I always checked "update automatically" which must have been the main error because by correcting the "apple test" file, it put everything back in order.  Thank you once again for the troubleshooting  I wish you a good evening and happy Christmas and New Year celebrations.
