Generated TOC, when using RD field code, yields every page as page 1

I have 37 separate Word documents. Word version is Microsoft Word for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2405 Build 16.0.17628.20006) 64-bit. I have a separate document to generate a table of contents (TOC)...

Myself and everyone else I've worked with in our company is having this same issue, although we haven't uninstalled and reinstalled Office 365; we did try going through and uninstalling and reinstalling the apps, though. Nothing has changed. Something is most definitely wrong.

    Hi Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP, I appreciate that. I've attached test documents. Newtest0 has the barebones TOC and the RD field codes are at the back end of the file. You can see that I made the headers include what page they are on and also whether it follows a section break or page break. In Newtest02, you'll see that the section on page 7 has the pagination set specifically to page 7 (rather than continue from previous section). Bottom line is that the first chapter is all "1" and then the second chapter, which I told it to start on page 5, shows 5s until the section break on 7; then it is 7s (it would be 1s if I have it set to continue page numbering from previous section), and then after the next section break, you'll see page 8 (set to continue from previous section) and on come up as 1s.
