Default Table of Contents setup

Insert a two-column section in the document, with one-column paragraphs
before and after the section breaks. Then insert the TOC in the two-column
section, and it will be formatted for two columns automatically.

I am using Word 2003. I have created a table of contents using heading
styles. Is there a switch I can use to force the table of contents into

two
columns? I manually created the columns and column breaks, but each time
the table is updated, it reverts to one column. I also tried using the
Index in place of the table of contents as it can be done in two columns,
but it can only be done alphabetically as opposed to the order in which
headings appear in the document. Does the Index have a switch to force it
to appear in the order in which it is in the document?

TIA,

Ricki
