I wish to extract the TOC from a Word doc that I have created and place it
on our server in order to show visitors the contents of a manual. However
when I copy and paste the TOC it (understandably) generates ugly "Error
bookmark not defined!" messages on every line in bold text.

Is there some way I can prevent the error messages cos they look really
ugly. Maybe in the 'switches' but I don't know how that bit works. (It does
not matter whether or not the pages numbers show in the extracted TOC).

PS I use Word 97.

Many thanks

When you paste your TOC use Paste Special to paste as formatted text.
Then select the entire TOC and press Ctrl-6 to unlink the fields.
Then select the entire TOC and press Ctrl-Spacebar to remove the hyperlink
formatting.
You will now have a no fields TOC.

A simple Paste is all that's required for Step 1. Note that Ctrl+Shift+F9
will also unlink the field.
