The same problem is in Word 2007.
The TOC from gallery is extremely uncomfortable (slow) if somebody wants to use it to quick jump to some part of document (even in very small documents).
As suggested by macropod, the problem is solved when inserting the TOC via one of:
- References|Table of Contents|Insert Table of Contents
(Note the use of "Insert Table of Contents" not the TOC gallery from this menu!)
- Insert|Quick Parts|Field>TOC
Paul - I think that it's much better resurrect old thread than creating new one for the same subject.
