I have read through all Your replies, in addition to some tips from other People I know. I don't really know what caused the problems to begin With, but at least I have come up With a solution/work around that seems to work. I did as follows:
1. Created a brand New document
2. Edited the original "Heading 1" style to fit my needs for this New document only. (I went to Modify Style/Paragraph/Line and Page Breaks and ticked the "Page break before" check Box to have Word start each instance of the Heading 1 on a fresh page)
3. Removed both the table of contents and the index from the original document (only the actual TOC and index, not the markings)
4. Pasted the text into the New document.
5. Applied the "Normal" style to the entire document before I went through all the pages and marked all the headings With the modified "Heading 1" style.
6. As I worked my way through the document I removed some section breaks and page breaks and some other formatting/mess. I also marked the unmarked headings so that they would also show up in the index.
7. Inserted both TOC and index and crossed my fingers.
8. Scrolled up and Down for quite a while - and to my great satisfaction it seems to work like a charm now.
Thank you all for pointing me in the right direction. I wish you all a happy New year.
Best regards
Stig M. Thu
