Copy formatted TOC to separate document?

I need to make a separate, formatted, stand-alone copy of the TOC for a long document, but, as I understand it, I first need to remove the field codes so that broken hyperlinks don't create error messages where the page numbers should be.

Problem is that when I try Ctrl+Shift+F9 (which should remove the field codes?) it doesn't seem to have any effect and the field codes all remain unaltered.

What is particularly frustrating is that I did somehow manage (yesterday!) to copy the TOC successfully - and email it to someone - but I can't for the life of me now work out how I did it. Meantime I've been asked to add a further level of headings to the TOC, and the new TOC defies all my attempts to copy it.

Answer
Method 1.

Try printing your TOC as a pdf.

Method 2.

First save your document. Then select your TOC and press Ctrl-6 or Ctrl-Shift-F9.

Copy your TOC to a separate document (or delete the remainder of your document) and email to the person you want. Close the document without saving changes.
