Hi Richard,
Are those pages in section 1?
If not, you need to specify the section number as well because if so, pages 5-35 may not actually exist in section 1.

I had exactly the same problem. We tried more memory (24 meg) with no
difference. Finally, I bought Word97 and it worked fine. BUT here is
an amazing bug in Word 97:
In layout mode, ask it to print a range of pages, say "5-35". Now go
and check the TOC. It is numbered correctly up to page 35. All pages
after that are numbered "35". I can't believe that they get money for
this product!
BTW, the MS support site indicates that the fix is to not do it. I'm
serious!
