You don't say whether you are updating the table of contents.  (I'm 
not sure what you can mean by "do the insert to update the table of contents".)

It is asking a bit much for a word processor to go back and check the 
page references in indexes and tables as you are working: every 
keystroke could change any page reference.  The processing involved 
would slow down your work considerably.  After any editing and before 
you can rely on the integrity of your table of contents, you need to 
update the table.  Go to Tools | Update >, and then choose from 
Current Index (if your cursor is in the table of contents), All 
Indexes and Tables, or Update All.

I trust this helps.
