Default TOC page numbering off


Hello! I have a TOC that is misnumbered. The actual numbers on the pages are correct, but I did notice that in the navigation view, the thumbnails are also out of order. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Can't tell from the screenshot. I'm not sure I understand what is wrong.

Speculating:
Apparently the page numbering was restarted at Exercise 2-3.
  1. Go to that page and go to the Page number menu on the Insert Tab.
  2. Format page numbers.
  3. Tell it to continue from previous section.
  4. Refresh your Table of Contents.
My guess is that at an earlier point in the document you told Word to restart page numbering at 1. A new section was later created (Columns, orientation, and margin changes will all do that). The new section picks up the command to restart numbering from the settings in the previous section.

Page Numbers in Word 2007-2019 (365) (Windows resource but concepts and document structures are the same on Mac)

Glad we got it fixed. In all your spare time, you might want to do some reading on how Sections work (or do something more fun).
