Since I also build TOCs based on styles and rarely fiddle with outline
levels, I also hadn't figured out this difference, but it's wonderfully
useful information to know. When I get a chance, I'll add that to my TOC
Tips article because it does provide a way to add a single heading to a TOC.

Hi, Stefan,
Oh, that's a much faster way to clear up the problem TOC--but I'd still
want
to rid my document of those spurious headings and paragraph levels.
I've often wondered about the difference between \o and \u. I've long
added
the paragraph level to style definitions to so the style would get picked
up
by the TOC, and I've deleted the \u with no effect. Now I know that's
because \u applies to _direct formatting_.
Thanks so much,
Pam

If your assumption is correct, deleting the \u switch from the TOC field
code would suffice (the switch instructs Word to include paragraphs that
have outline levels 1--9 applied as direct formatting). See also
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/DocumentMap.htm.
The unwanted TOC paragraphs may have the wrong paragraph outline level
applied. This sometimes happens if the the document map has been
opened.
