Hi - I've looked, but can't figure out a way to find and
replace Table of Contents fields in my documents. I
receive many that have been set up this way, and my
preference is to use styles to generate a TOC. Any help
would be appreciated.

In the FIND box, if you use ^d that will pick up the field code. ^d TC would pick up only TC fields. If you then leave the REPLACE box empty, that should remove the TC fields.
