Stefan_Blom Hi, Thanks for the answer.  I will try that, however just to clarify, the issue comes up when we click on the "Update Table" bit at the top of the TOC.  I'm only having to open the dialog box to fix the issue.   Regards.

    Stefan_Blom  Hi, I get the following:

    {TOC \o "1-3" \h \z \t "Legal Numbering 1;2"}

     

    It is the Legal Numbering 1 style that drops out when I update the TOC.

      The field code looks correct to me. Assuming that you have a paragraph style called "Legal Numbering 1," it should work properly.

       

      Have you tried creating an AutoText entry that contains the field code? You will then have to insert the AutoText to re-create the TOC in another document. Of course, that document must also contain text formatted in the "Legal Numbering 1" style.
