Can I freeze a TOC?

[Glibby Gibson]

I have a 300+ page research report. I want to email just the TOC to show the
subjects and extent of the research. But if I delete the pages of "meat",
although the TOC doesn't automatically update w/o me asking for an update; if
I create a pdf or print preview then the update happens automatically and I
get a string of bookmark not defined errors. If I cut and paste I get same
thing. Even Paste special.

I can create a graphic in Paint or similar, but I lose a lot of clarity.

Is there a paste special function in word similar to excel that "hard"
pastes in just values w/o links, variables, etc.? Or is there another way of
doing this? Thanks

Hi Glibby,

If you select the TOC and press <Ctrl-Shift-F9>, that'll convert it to text,
which you can then copy & paste into another document. Just don't save your
existing document this way, though, or your TOC will be frozen forever and
you'll have to delete & recreate it if you want it back.

Cheers

More to the point, you can copy and paste the TOC, as is, into a new
document and then unlink it there (using Ctrl+Shift+F9), leaving the TOC in
the original document intact.

Yes, that's better - simpler too!
