Two things:
1. The Contents applet seeks a certain style. Now if you have applied
different styles to a certain (sub)(sub)Heading, which you intend to
have in the Contents chapter (you do use a separate chapter for this
don't you!) it might miss one if the following order of the applied
styles is wrong. E.g. in a document I have special Headings but
followed by text I need for the Contents page but not for the final
print (non-print). If I get the order wrong the text meant for the
Contents page might not be recognised.
2. The Contents chapter can take several pages. So do precise at which
page number the 1st following chapter should start. Otherwise the page
numbering starts after the *1st* page of the Contents chapter.
The best way. Make the contents file, see at what page it ends, then
precise the starting page number for the following paragraph,
eventually after deciding if the following chapter should start left
or right. The re-run the Contents applet.
