My table of contents shows 96 pages, the document shows 65 pages. I have
already "update table of contents" and update pages only" and nothing
changes. Also one of the paragraphs shows on TOC and in not on the document.
Curious
 
When you browse to the pages in question, does Word display their
names in your status bar? Remember that page numbering can begin at
any number you like and you might have one or more sections skipping
some numbers.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say "that there is
something in the toc that is not in the document"; is it text that you
didn't type? Do you mean that there is an extra entry in the toc?
 
It shows the pages numbers. I mean that an entry previously deleted from the
document still shows on the TOC, and also an added entry on the document does
not show. No update seems to work.
We just migratted from Office 2003 to 2007, could there be a problem with
the migration?
 
I would try deleting the toc and reinserting it.

If that does not work, please feel free to send me a copy of the
document.
 
Turn on Track Changes (if not already on) and select AcceptAll. Then turn
off Track Changes. Update the ToC. Does that sort the problems?
 
If you have (or have had) Track Changes enabled, you will need to Accept All
Changes in Document before the TOC will be correct.
