Default Removing an automatic Table of Contents

You can delete the TOC field and construct the TOC manually, but I suspect
that is not what you want. You can unlink the field with Ctrl+Shift+F9,
which will permit you to format it manually, but you won't be able to update
it any more, so be sure that editing is complete and pagination will not
change. Alternatively, you can lock the field (Ctrl+F11), which will prevent
it from updating; later, if you need to update the field, you can unlock it
(Ctrl+Shift+F11).

Hi,

I'm slowly but surely learning about styles, but I've come across a
problem I don't know how to solve. I have documents with automatic
Table of Contents, and I need to remove the automatic part of this. I
still need the Table of Contents, but I need to be able to add/remove
items and adjust the page numbers manually. I've read that to create
an automatic table of contents I need to go to
Insert Field Index and Tables TOC. So, how do I reverse this
equation? Thanks.
