Copy Word TOC into a document with less pages

[Guest]

I have a 250 page Word document. I want to excerpt selected Chapters (that
total 26 pages). I created a new document, then deleted all but the 26 pages
I wanted. Included in the 26 pages was the full automatically created Table
of Contents. When I saved this new document, the TOC gave me error messages,
"Error, Bookmark not defined."

I understand the error message, BUT I want to take an image of the Table of
Contents (as it shows in teh 250 page document), and insert it into the new
26 page document - without the error messages.

How do I do this?

Note that a less risky method is to copy the (still linked) TOC in the
original document and paste it into the excerpt, then unlink it. As long as
you don't update the TOC in the new document, it will remain intact until
unlinked.
