Default printing without fields being updated

Suzanne - i had the same trouble and it seems to be getting past the table of
contents but then wonts to update the table of figures and table of tables
and then goes back and bookmarks the whole table of contents. Anyway your
trick on locking the fields worked! Will write that one down!! Thanks

In this instance, you need to unlink the fields (using Ctrl+Shift+F9) before
printing. If you wanted to maintain live links (which in this case you
don't), you could lock the field using Ctrl+F11 (unlock with
Ctrl+Shift+F11).

Some fields are always updated at print time, even if you have "Update
fields" disabled, but the TOC field is not (usually) one of them, so I don't
know why it's updating.

I would like to be able to print a document without the fields being

updated
(in 2007). These fields are several TOCs that I have taken from several
different documents and wish to print them as a guide document retaining
their page references. When I come to print, the updating means that the

page
number is substituted by error bookmark not defined

I have ensured the word options of update flields (and links) before
printing is unticked

Is this a bug in 2007?

Thanks
