FM 9 TOC numbering issue

The numbers in my TOC are off ("behind") by 1, relative to the actual document. Example: The TOC link says an item is on page 10, but it is actually on page 11 in the actual document.

I have tried updating the book, even generating a new TOC and still have this issue.

Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.

- check the numbering on the book; it overrides that on the document

- check that your doc doesn't have any "odd" front matter that's getting numbered differently

I am not sure what you mean about numbering on the book? I have looked and didn't find any settings.

There are 2 pages of front matter, but they are numbered i,ii - and anyhow the TOC is only off by 1 page, so I don't think that's it.

IIRC, when you've got the book open, right-clicking on the "chapter" files that make up the book gives you an option for Numbering - usually the 1st chapter is set starting at page 1, and all the rest are set to continue numbering in sequence, so if you add/delete pages, the whole book's numbering flows along. Make sure that you update the book after making any changes to the numbering properties.
