Word template application failure

I am working on a project wherein I require the HTML and word ouput, I applied a word template to the word output of my project, it had a header, a footer, a copyright page and a TOC but after the output generation it only applied the header and footer to the final doc. Can anyone tell me why this happens and what can be the solution to this?

I then tried to include the copyright page in the project with condition tag as I did not want the copyright page on the HTML output. But then it said 'Output generation failed'

Even if I include Copyright in the project, the question of TOC remains as it is.

Word templates have only ever included styles and header/footer, from memory, not extra pages. You need to add spacial front matter and back matter "pages" to the table of contents in RH. 

 

I haven't tried in the new ui version of RH, so can't help with how to do it, but look at Peter's site, which has a lot of information: www.grainge.org

Just to add, try a book TOC for the printed output and an online TOC for the HTML. Leave the cover page out of the online TOC.

 

The Table of Contents (grainge.org)

What version of RH are you running? Is it up to date?

I am using Version 2020.5.71. Yes, it is up to date and I don't face this kind of issues in any other projects
