So in general things that are not text, such as TOC's, tables, frames and
pictures, that are anchored not as character can cause trouble when
repaginating.

I think it would help if some work arounds can be found, you have a
solution:

... as an example of such a work around. For me it does not work.


So I tried to create a pure document, trying to create the problems:

 * New document from default template
 * Change default style (a hate double enters)
 * Insert image, png, via menu, style left and right
 * Insert ASCII text, Lorem etc.
 * Make headings 1 and 2
 * Copy everything (dragging+ctrl) untill there are ~60 pages
 * Make page 1 with page break for title
 * Next page TOC

Everything works fine, no problems, but...

When I change evaluate levels of the TOC to 1, everything repagenates fine.
Turning it back to a higher level, and everything becomes chaos. See
attached nabble file.

Tools > Update does not work. Work around: Close and open file. But many of
my .odm files are not sensitive to this solution.
