Default Section Break Deleted when TOC updated

I have a Next Page section break placed a few lines after
the Table of Contents. Whenever I update the table (not
just page numbers) the blank lines and the section break
are deleted. Anyone have any thoughts on how to stop this
from happening?

Thanks!

Make sure these blank lines are not actually part of the TOC field.
Usually, and especially in here, we highly discourage the use of empty
paragraphs, but a TOC field followed by a section break is one of these
cases where you do want to separate the field and the break for good.

Thank you! The closing bracket for the TOC field was part
of the next page's Heading 1, so that's why it deleted.
Thanks for the fix.
