Alt+Shift+O is assigned to MarkTableoOfContentsEntry, so I looked for that
in Customize. I didn't find it exactly but did find two likely candidates
under All Commands: Mark Entry... and Mark Entry. The first opens the Mark
Index Entry dialog; the second is TOC-related, but, given the lack of
ellipsis, I would have expected it to just insert a TC field based on the
selected text rather than open the dialog. I tested it, however, and it does
do what you want. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a button icon, so you get
one more green ball.

Thanks Suzanne: as soon as I sent that I found the Show hide button.
Typical. I must admit that never in a month of Sundays would I have
dreampt of looking in something called quickparts!!! Can I invoke the nice
little Alt shift O dialog via the mouse? I'll see if I can do it under
Insert field: I must admit that the Word Help doesn't give you anything
useful out of search, or at least when I do search: my search keyword
thinkerupper is decidedly myopic and I spend hours thinking up keywords
for computer help systems, never the one actually needed. LOL.

I think you're missing some things. The Show/Hide ¶ button is on the Home
tab (Paragraph group). Insert Field is still available through Insert |
Text | Quick Parts | Field. You can add either or both to the QAT via the
Customize dialog.

I have run into issues using Word 2007 that need to be on the Wish list
for a new Word.
1) There a many things I cannot do any more using menus (the mouse). For
example, Insert field. For example I am expected to learn Alt Shift O to
insert a TC entry. Please can we have the Insert Field menu back - more
to the point, I should NEVER HAVE TO LEARN KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS.
PLEASE!!!! It took me 45 minutes to discover there was no obvious way of
doing it with a mouse!
2) I can no longer toggle formatting marks on and off on the fly: this
is a vital method of figuring out what idiotic thing the other guy did
and a quick way of looking at the likely final layout when, for example,
inserting TC entries (You notice a theme here?). Having to wander off to
turn Word Options on and off is irritating, and likely to leave my
default setting incorrect. This Needs to be somewhere in the View
Ribbon.
Thank you
