finding data hidden in fields
I have a document created by another which contains a table of contents that I can't access directly. Somehow he used the "fields" function to keep it separate from the main document. How can I access this ToC to make changes etc.?

Click on it and press the F9 key? In Word, most Tables of Contents are fields.
Before you start messing with this, to your frustration, take a look at How to create a table of contents in Microsoft Word by Shauna Kelly. |

Ordinarily, you don't "access this ToC to make changes etc.". Editing the displayed ToC content is futile, as anything that causes the ToC to update will wipe out those changes. The only changes that will survive an update are those that you make to the TOC field code itself - and you should be careful about that.
