Temporarily moving the original to a location outside the directory tree
of the new (a different drive would be even better). Then regenerate the
new document. After you fix the errors (cross-refs, TOC, etc.) and save
the new, you can safely move the old back to it's original location and
everything should be fine.

Question from a colleague here - may well be something obvious we're
missing. I've checked the archives and the Frame site but no luck. Not a
big problem (small doc) but irritating. Scenario is:
Existing docs with changes.
Copied all the docs (entire folder structure) to new location) Made the
changes (so he had the original as well as the updated version).
Problem is that the index and TOC didn't regenerate - sections that were
deleted etc still appeared in both.
Thought it might have been because of how it was copied - book still
looking at old location. He created a new book and added the files in
the new locations but no joy - TOC and index still seemed to be pointing
to old location. Simply regenerated them and formatted but annoying -
any ideas?
