Thanks Stefan,

I figured out how to do it satisfactorily. It requires creating a couple
macros but I can program Word to do what I need.

The trick was in selecting the TOC and then adding the text box (in Word
2003). I loss the connectivity, i.e., ability to update the TOC with F9,
once it is in the box but the macros will take care of the formatting.

Tables of contents cannot be in text boxes. But you can convert the text box
to a frame: In the Format Text Box dialog box, there is a button for the
purpose on the Text Box tab.

Is it possible to place a TOC inside a text box and use F9 to update it?

How can one format a TOC placed in a text box?

Thanks.
