Table of Contents

When I update the Table of Contents after assigning the headings/levels I am
not getting the correct formatting. The number is supposed to start over at
each chapter, but in a few sections the 2nd number continues on from the
previous chapter. The heading levels appear to be correct when I highlight
them (1,2,3)
-- 4.6 Workplace Attire 4-4
4.7 Personnel Records 4-4
4.8 Expense Policy and Procedures 4-4
5 Compensation Policies and Practices 5-6
5.1 Payroll Procedures 5-6

Are the page numbers correct in your document? If not, make sure each
chapter heading (Heading 1?) is at the start of its own section, then go
into the header or footer (wherever your page number are) for each
chapter/section and edit the page number to start at 1. Then regenerate
your TOC.

If your page numbers are correct in the document, but the TOC page numbers
are wrong, I'm at a loss to explain it.

Is the page numbering correct in itself? You need to put every chapter in a separate section if you want to show the chapter number in the page numbering, and set every section to start at 1, not "continue from previous section". Then the ToC shd pick this up automatically too.

Make sure that you have inserted section breaks and restarted the page
numbering correctly. See
