Can anyone help?

I need to copy a table of contents from a document to a seperate document.
How can I do this without it changing the headings and the page numbers?

I also need to hide some text in a document. Is there a way of displaying
the text when I am editing the document but at the same time hiding the text
so it does not appear in the document when you print it?

Thanks

John

if the TOC in this second document needs to be dynamic, you can insert
an RD field in the separate document pointing to the other document,
then create a TOC there directly (in the same way you would if the
headings were in the document itself).

If you're fine with a snapshot of the existing TOC, you can try copy /
paste special, as text only (there are other methods like breaking the
link, or freezing the TOC field, but I think paste special will bring
you there).

Different problem, might have made two posts. Comments are one way to
get what you are asking for, another is "hidden text" (applied through
Format | Font: hidden or, preferably, a style -- you then either trigger
visibility of hidden text, or the hidden property of the style).

The easiest method of copying the TOC is just to copy and paste, then
immediately unlink (Shift+F9). This doesn't require locking or unlinking it
in the original document but preserves a "snapshot" of it in the new
document.
