Only the first item is updated. I selected the entire table of contents and did update, but nothing else was updated.

1. Press CTRL/H.
2. Click in the Find What text box.
3. Click the Special button.
4. Click Section break near the bottom of the list.
5. Click in the Replace With text box.
6. Click Special again, and select Manual Page Break.
7. Click the Replace All button.
