Thank you Suzanne. Is it Ctrl+Shift+F9 that unlinks it?

You can equally well copy and paste the "live" index into a new
document; just unlink it before you print (printing updates fields).

Open the document that contains the index. Select the index. Press
Ctrl+Shift+F9 to convert the index field to ordinary text. Copy and
paste the index text to a new document. Close the original document

Hi

I am trying to extract the contents of an index Word 2002 created
into a simple text file I can send to the book publishers who need
it as a PC file. When I copy and paste the index into a new
separate Word file and then try to print it, the new index changes
into an error message. How can I create a new file containing the
index text formatted the
way it is presently formatted in the original document?

Thank you.
