> I don't know how to set an option to prevent hyperlinked TOCs, but I have
> found a way to work around it...
>
> Use the following procedure after creating the TOC:
> 1. Select the entire TOC.
> 2. Right-click on the TOC and then click Toggle Field Codes.
> 3. Delete the "\H" switch from the field codes. This is the switch that
> tells Word to generate the hyperlinks. For example, one of my documents
has
> a TOC field code that reads {TOC \O "1-4" \H \Z}. Change it to {TOC \O
"1-4"
> \Z}.
> 4. Right-click the TOC field code and then click Update Field.
> 5. Click Update Entire Table, and then click OK.
>
> The TOC will no longer have hyperlinked headings.
>
> Hope that helps!
