Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.1a. This problem was corrected in Word for Windows versions 2.0.

More Information: You must convert AUTONUM fields to numbers before the table of contents displays the paragraph numbers. For more information on automatic paragraph numbers, refer to pages 226-231 in the “Microsoft Word for Windows User’s Reference.” To convert the AUTONUM fields to numbers, use the following steps: 1. Select the whole document. 2. From the Utilities menu, choose Renumber, select the Numbered Only and Manual options. Choose the OK button. 3. Position the insertion point in the TOC field, and press F9 to update the field. The table of contents should now reflect the correct paragraph numbering.
