Table of Contents error hyperlink reference not valid

Hi,

I created a lengthy Word document using Word 2003 and sent it off to be
translated. When it cam back it had multiple formatting issues which I
assume are from using a different version of Word. When I look at document
properties, the Word version is listed as 97-2003 so I can only assume that
they used Word 97 when they translated it. I have reformatted the document
and tried to update the table of contents. I get about half of the entries
listed as "Error! Hyperlink reference not valid." When I go to the
respective link to check it is still listed as text with an outline level to
it (eg, Level 2 text; this format was manually inserted using the outlining
toolbar. I have tried deleting the table of contents and reinserting which
results in "Error! No table of contents entries found." Does anyone have any
suggestions?

Thanks

Word97 had a problem with the ToC. Basically, whenever it refreshed, it
created new hidden bookmarks until it stopped working. IIRC, you need to
delete the ToC and the headings, replace the headings and then recreate the
ToC.
