Fran,
Just had the same problem with the Summary actually being one page but the table of
contents listing it as 2.
For what it's worth, I tried everything I could think of and finally as a last resort saved the
information in the overview section to a separate Word file, deleted the info in the box on
Fastlane, then reloaded the file I had saved separately.  When I saved the entire Summary
file in Fastlane and then checked, it worked!
This particular Summary was under the character count limit so that may have had
something to do with it.
I haven't tried it on a second one so don't know if it was a fluke or it actually works.
Kathy
