I have the following TOC in a Word 2007 template:  {TOC \f \h \z}
Field codes are set up in this format:  {tc  "1.1  Caption" \f C \L 1}

If I open the template from Windows Explorer by right clicking and selecting 
Open, the TOC is fine.  But if I double click on the template from WE (and 
create a new Document1 based on the template), the TOC has the same page 
number (3) for all pages.  The first few TOC entries are correct, because 
those field codes are, indeed, on Page 3.  Tracked changes reveal that the 
error begins on Page 4.  If I update the TOC with <F9>, the issue is 
corrected.

I read other Q/A's re: opening documents Reading Layout (2003) or Full 
Screen Reading (2007).  This doesn't seem to apply - "Open e-mail attachments 
in Full Screen Reading view" is NOT checked in my Popular options.  And the 
issue is not occuring when documents are sent via email - they are being 
opened from a network drive.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

This issue also occurred in the same templates before my recent upgrade from 
Word 2003 to 2007.
 
 
   

I can easily reproduce what you are describing. I believe updating the TOC 
field will always be necessary when creating a new document from a template 
containing a TOC (I don't remember how it used to work in older versions, 
though).

An alternative to including the TOC in the template file is to create an 
AutoText entry which users can insert as they need to add a TOC. Word will 
prompt you to update the added TOC.
