ToC: delete unwanted info

[Siuan]

I am a new user of Word 2007.

This is my first time working with the Table of Contents system and things
were going rather well untill this last time I updated the TOC.

I have been going along adding headings of topics I wanted to cover to my
document as I thought of them, and adding the corrosponding link to the ToC
at the same time. It was working really well as a short-cut to getting to
various places in the doc quickly.

Today after doing a couple hours of work on one of those sections I updated
the ToC and had a look... To my horror all of the work I had done is now part
of the ToC as well.

So far I not found a way to clear or undo a link. Please tell me one exists.

Thank you for your attention.

It sounds as if you've probably been doing a lot of unnecessary work; TOC
entries are hyperlinked by default. See

don't worry about this...I think I have it figured out.

But it's nice to know that you people are here and ready to help. Thanks

To add to Suzanne's tip (the ToCs are hyperlinked) you should investigate
the DocMap which provides an 'outline headings' view of the document all
hyperlinked. This makes for lightning navigation of your document.
