Table of Contents hyperlink - how do you turn it off?

Hi,

I'm trying to disable the hyperlink feature on my table of contents. What happens is I try to edit my table of contents and I keep being redirected to the appropriate page!

Help.

I'm interested as to why you are editing your table of contents!
However to turn of the hyperlink, do the following.
Go to Insert on the toolbar. Drop down to reference and then across to
index & Tables. Click on the Table fo Contents tab. On the right of
the box you should see a check box which is ticked next to the words
Use hyperlinks instead of page numbers. Uncheck this.

Click OK. When it asks you if you want to replace your existing TOC ,
click yes.

This is how you do it for Word XP. If you have a different version,
still look for the check box on the TOC tab.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Mike

Select the contents and press Ctrl + Shift + F9 - This unlinks the whole
thing. BTW, if you edit a table of contents and update it, you will lose
your changes! All format edits should be done through the Edit:Style... not
locally...

Press Alt+F9 to toggle field codes. Remove the \h switch. Alt+F9 to toggle
back, then F9 to update. Page numbers will still be hyperlinked, but the
entire entry won't be. In Word 2002, you can disable this when you create
the TOC (there's a check box in the dialog). For more, see

The check box is not present on previous versions. This feature was
introduced in Word 2000 but can't be turned off from the TOC dialog till
Word 2002. In any case, replacing the TOC is a bad idea because it results
in accumulation of excess bookmarks.
