Cant print my TOC

I have a 13 page TOC, which BTW I am disappointed as only about 65% of the results are correct requiring me to edit quite a lot of info (page no's are OK). I find I cant print the TOC - was told to unlink the index to press Ctrl+Shift+F9 but it doesn't work for me, when I print I get 'Error! Bookmark not defined' message - would also like to save it as a text document.

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 solution doesn't work and its occurred to me that is because I have split the 660 pages of my document into 6 files, and my TOC is a compilation of 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 am about to compile, which will be of thousands of entries.
Should I temporarily join these 6 files until both the TOC and Index are completed.
BTW was advised to split the files so they would load quickly !!!
I appreciate your invaluable help.

Cheers,
Patricia
