Unrelated question: Is there a way to convert a Microsoft table of contents into a static table while preserving formatting?
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
a way to convert a Microsoft table of contents into a static table while preserving formatting
A MS TOC isn't an actual table--you just want the text, still formatted?
eta: If so, try copying it and pasting as formatted text (RTF ).

can you copy it and do a paste special?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Isn't there a way to toggle the TOC so that it's no longer a locked field?

First thing I tried. Does not get rid of the links. Not with RTF, not with paste special.

Trying that: Can't find any place to that. You can make all Toc fields entry fields, which lets you overwrite them mannually. But the still recalc when you press F9. The nearest I've come is that you can save to a filtered HTML, and then pull the table back out. You get half the formatting.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Yesterday at work I solved the opposite of Typo Boy's issue. A store had problems in IE6, and IE7 made it work.
Plans are to uninstall IE7 at some point, but now that it's going to be mandatory again...

I'm trying to remember what I did for my dissertation for the TOC fields. I remember that TOC was a pain in the ass - especially since I was using master documents.
TB, the only thing I can recommend is can you save the document (under a new name of course) as RTF and then get what you want from the TOC page?

I like my marware case. I forget the model. Its leather holder on the belt with a magnetic clasp. Looks nice, is quiet to open, and has holes so you can plug in the headphones while its safetly in the pouch.
