Description madgoan 2016-06-08 22:39:26 UTC
Hi Folks,
This is probably operator error, but i cannot find what I have done to cause the problem.

I have had an Alphabetical Index in my document for a while. Recently, when I add text then add index entries, when I 'Update' the Alphabetical Index, my Table of contents is copied to the location (Index is gone).

I do not know if this is related, but I have noticed the Index Entry box is larger and I cannot adjust the size.

Kind Regards

This is a Word document

Hi Folks,
Here is the word document. It is an ongoing log of our travels. I used to have windows and thats where the doc was created. Some time ago, while on windows platform, the index was destroyed. Those are the places where "reference not found" appear. It was not long after that I went to the new platform. I have been slowly creating the new index, based on error reference and on our current daily goings on.
Recently, maybe a week ago, I did an "Index Update" and what appeared was a copy of the Table of Contents Under the Alphabetical Index heading.

Hope this helps, Kind regards

"Show Repairs" when .DOC is opened in MSO. 
And update does the same in MSO as in LO. 
I'll mark as Invalid because .doc is invalid. 
It's easy to create new A. Index that can be updated. 
Moral: use ODT to work as save as DOC as needed.
