But it will be in alphabetical order instead of its order in the document.
The purposes of a TOC and an index are quite different.

Yes they do have different purposes but the results can look the same. BK
is
trying to mark random text in a document to show in the TOC. Using the
Index
feature gives BK more flexibility - he doesn't have to use a Style to get
it
to show up.

Hi BK,
Instead of using the quick parts tool, I recommend you use the Index
tool
and then insert and Index instead of a TOC. We'll call this modified
TOC
and
IndexTOC okay?
1. Highlight the text you want to appear in your IndexTOC.
2. On the ribbon choose the References Tab.
3. Eyeball three boxes to the right till you see the Index box.
4. From the Index box click on Mark Entry.
5. Now in the popup you can add what ever text you want to appear in
your
IndexTOC and it won't replace your selection with what you are adding.
6. When you're done adding all your entries, you just get yourself to a
place in the document where you want the IndexTOC to appear and click
on
the
Insert Index button.
7. When the Insert Index dialog box pops up you'll see many options.
Change the columns to 1 and click on right align page numbers. That
should
get your your speed modified version of a TOC!

Using Office 2007 and once again running into an issue marking text to
be
included in a Table of Contents. I want to manually mark pieces of
text
within my document to be included in the table of contents. These
pieces
of
text are not titles or specific heading, so I want to manually mark
them
instead of creating my TOC from styles.
Here are my steps:
Select the text
Click Insert \ TExt \ Quick Parts \ Field \ TC
In the Text entry box I type what I want to actually appear in the
Table
of
Contents
Then I click OK
When I click OK to enter the field marker, it replaces the selected
text.
How can I select the text to mark for inclusion in the Table of
Contents
without having the field marker replace that selected text?
