Publisher crashes when creating a table of contents

[manuel.s90]

Hello,

as a very happy user of Photo and Designer I recently started using Publisher. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem as stable as the other two programs. My biggest problem at the moment is that Publisher just crashes whenever I try to create a table of contents. The TOC actually is created, but Publisher crashes right after.

I've attached the file and would really appreciate any help.

I've not been bale to recreate that here with your file. Can you confirm the versions of OS and Publisher you are using. Also if you can upload a crash report that would be useful

Can you also let us know what styles you are using when creating the ToC and if you change these if it has any effect

I have the same problem exactly as Manuel.s90. No crash report is generated. Publisher version 1.8.3.641. Windows 7. I reduced the number of text styles to "none" for body copy and "heading 2" for all other headings. Publisher generates a table of contents, and highlights heading 2 in the text styles panel. And then freezes.

As to crash report, I don't think a crash report is generated. I don't see any on screen.

I experimented much more with the text styles. Conclusion: They work fine, no crash, IF you DO NOT scroll to the bottom of the text style panel. Strange ? Yes, and repeatable. If you scroll to the bottom, the "No Style" banner appears AGAIN.  Crashes every time. If I do not scroll to the bottom, Text Styles works fine. Hmmmmm....

Hi all,

I am getting instant crashes on creating a table of contents (when clicking on "insert table of contents"), on Windows 10, AP version 1.8.5.703. This is problematic as I have a deadline approaching. If I can't make it work I'll do it by hand, of course.

Here is my file. Can someone take a look at it ? Focus the body of text on page 3 and try inserting a TOC.

Thanks,

Hadrien

That crashes Publisher for me, too (both 1.8 and 1.9 beta).

I've logged that crash @Hadriscus,

Thanks for the report
