I have a contemplate that currently shows a CCK field which is linked to a taxonomy term but would like to use it unlinked

the field is

$field_author

I see in the Body Variables List THE BIT I WANT but don't know enough to do it

$node->data 
a:0:{} 
$node->field_author (array) 
$node->field_author[0] (array) 
$node->field_author[0][7] (object) 
$node->field_author[0][7]->tid 
7 
$node->field_author[0][7]->vid 
1 
$node->field_author[0][7]->name 
THE BIT I WANT
$node->field_author[0][7]->description 
$node->field_author[0]['view'] 
<a href="/taxonomy/term/7" rel="tag" title="">THE BIT I WANT</a> <br /><a href="/taxonomy/term/" rel="tag" title=""></a> <br />

I have tried selecting 

$node->field_author[0][7]->name

which is then automatically entered into the template with the appropriate php codes and sort of works BUT because the code has [7] the tid, it only inserts that specific THE BIT I WANT (plain text without link) on the associated page

What do i need to do so that i can just get the field_author as text ?

If i just use 

$field_author

I ger Array as output

Unfortunately i dont know enough coding to resolve this

What i am trying to get to is

$myfield_author = THE BIT I WANT

I Hope what i have said makes sense, and would appreciate if anyone can help, or at least point me in the right direction

Try this:

<?php
  foreach($node->field_author as $field_author){
    foreach($field_author as $term){
      print '<a href="/taxonomy/term/'.$term->tid.'" rel="tag" title="">'.$term->name.'</a>';
    }
  }
?>

This will give you a list of links to your taxonomy terms, is this what you are looking for?
