If I am understanding correctly....eg you want some Heading 3 lines to show
up in the TOC, but not all of them.
Word puts text in a TOC if it has an outline level (set under Format |
Paragraph). You can manually remove the outline level from the sections you
don't want to show (actually, you set the outline level to "body text,"
rather than removing it).
Another option might be to have duplicate Heading 3 styles, one with an
outline level of 3, one without, but I suspect that would not work with
numbering. Not sure, though.

It seems that's not exactly what I am looking for. That article (thanks for
the pointer as it is interesting) describes how to control putting just some
sections of the paragraph into the TOC and shows how to hide the
autonumbering in the main part (the stuff following the TOC) of the document
that the Heading provides.
I sort of want the opposite. I want the autonumber to show in the main part
but have it not show up in a few of the sections of the TOC.
From the example on the first page of the document in that link you provided
me, I want the TOC to show
1. This Is a Heading
1.1 Then You Have a Heading
without showing the "But now you want...." third level in the TOC. for
that section 1. I could just show two levels of depth in the table of
contents but then I would lose the depth of any of the other sections where
I might want to be showing Heading levels 3 or 4 or deeper.
Let me give a further example:
In the body of the document:
1. Color
1.1 Blue
Blue is used to show the sky.
1.2 Red
Red is used to show kdfa;lsdfj
1.3 Yellow
Yellow is used to adlfj;asldfja;lsdfj;alkjf.
2. Policies
2.1 Always select from the color list. With lots of text following this.
This 3.1 section might be five lines of text.
2.2 Get approval before submitting. Same for this. lots of descriptive
text.
2.3 Allow time for part order. Same for this.
3. Materials
3.1 Wood
Use wood when the asldfj;aslkj .
3.2 Plastic
Use plastic when aslkdfj;alskdfa;lskdf.
In the TOC:
1. Color
1.1 Blue
1.2 Red
1.3 Yellow
2. Policies
3. Materials
3.1 Wood
3.2 Plastic
I am looking for a way to limit what ends up in the TOC and at the same time
use the autonumbering that Headings provide in the body of the document in
case I have to add a section.
I suspect I am missing something.

I have formatted a document using:
1 Heading 1
1.1 Heading 2
1.1.1 Heading 3
and
Body Text
Body Text 2
Body Text 3
For most of the 1.1 Heading 2's I use a one or two word heading and then
I
use Body Text 2 for a paragraph below the heading for text.
But in a few of the 1.1 Headings I want the numbering that heading
provides
in the main document but I have a paragraph's worth of text following
the
numbering rather than a couple word heading. I don't want that stuff
in
the Table of Contents. I only want to see 1 Heading (not the 1.1
Heading)
for that section, not the 1.1 Heading and all the text that followed it.
How can I do this?
