In the meantime I decided to bite the bullet and write that part of the
document with headings for the descriptive text that follows it, in the same
way that I've written the rest of the doc.

This TC field stuff looks interesting but as you are pointing out (I think)
(and not having yet tried it to find out on my own) you can add TC fields to
most of the Heading and Body stuff to make it visible in the TOC but you
can't by default have most of the Heading and Body stuff visible in the body
of the document and only add TC fields to stuff you want to make not
visible. True.

--(by the way, what is the official term for the main stuff outside the TOC?
"Body" seems like it could be confused with the other definition of Body
that goes along with Heading in Styles.)

Nope, sure can't. Shoulda checked that.

In that case, Steve, perhaps you should build your TOC with TC fields,
which
lets you mark each heading individually for inclusion in the TOC. A little
more work--but actually, probably about equivalent to manually removing
the
outline level from the headings you didn't want.

The link you received earlier will tell you how to use TC fields. We
appear
to have gone in circles. Am I missing something?

However, TC fields don't appear to pick up direct numbering--will they
pick
up style-based numbering? (Suzanne?)
