Ordinarily, however, the hyperlinks, even though they are formatted with the
Hyperlink style (as can be seen by clicking in one of the TOC entries) do
not display the blue color and underline unless you unlink the TOC, so this
is definitely anomalous behavior.

Hi ?B?VHJpdW1waFdyaXRlcjI=?=,

Every time I update the table of contents field in my documents, the
whole
field turns blue. How do I stop this?

You should always mention the versin of Office involved in a problem.

I'm guessing that the TOC is showing the entries as hyperlinks. If you
press
Alt+F9 to toggle on the field codes, do you see a \h switch in the TOC
field?
If you delete that, Alt+F9 again, then update the field does the problem
go
away?
