Ivan,
Your page numbers are funny in the TOC because they are funny on the actual
pages. It looks as if you have a section's page numbering set to start at
2, and then you inserted a section break between each page. The new
sections inherited the page numbering format from the original section and
you neglected to go into the page number format for each new section and
change to 'continue from previous'. Once you fix the page numbering in the
body of the document, the page numbers in the TOC will resolve themselves to
what you expect to see.
Regards,
Chad
