When my reviewers use the free review version, they click the "Switch to TOC View" and get a lot of [%=System.LinkedTitle%] ; which is not a great deal of use.
Any ideas?

Re: Switch to TOC View
This is because of the wonderful new feature that Madcap introduced a couple of versions ago, where the TOC inserts the topic title as a variable so the TOC entry changes automatically if the topic title does. In the full version you can tell where this has happened as the TOC entries are shown in blue. It's a very annoying feature that you can't turn off, other than by overtyping the variable with "hard-coded" titles, which are then shown in black. (There have been other problems caused by this wretched variable, but I don't know what they are as I always hard-code my TOC values.)
So in brief, one way to prevent this would be to hard-code the titles in the TOC. I look forward to seeing any other suggestions.
