If you have unlinked the TOC, it should not update, but you shouldn't need
to do that just to print it, assuming it's still part of the original
document on which it's based. What you do need to do is update it (with F9)
before printing, which will get rid of the "Error" messages by removing
headings that are no longer found in the document.

Hi Suzanne, thanks for replying to my SOS, however your solutio
doesn't work and its occurred to me that is because I have split th
660 pages of my document into 6 files, and my TOC is a compilation o
the TOC's of these files, could that be my problem?
Am now wondering if I will have the same problem with the index I a
about to compile, which will be of thousands of entries.
Should I temporarily join these 6 files until both the TOC and Inde
are completed.
BTW was advised to split the files so they would load quickly !!!
I appreciate your invaluable help.
Cheers,
Patrici
