If the TOC is based on your numbered headings (or other styles), then all
you have to do is press F9 in the TOC field to update it whenever you add
new numbered headings/paragraphs. It does not update automatically, but
neither do you have to "renumber" anything; you just update the field.

As described earlier in this thread, you can have Word pick up any
paragraph

I hope you can give me a suggestion on the method you find works the

How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Microsoft
Word document (by Shauna
Kelly)http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html
So MS Word is not going to do what I need... I will look for something
else.
Again, I'm not interested in making something pretty when I'm done
with it, but with an ongoing, evolving table of contents, where I
don't have to renumber things either in the TOC at the top, or with
the number below where the relevant text is, when I add a new entry in
the TOC. Nobody has said MS Word will do this.
My original post very clearly spells this out, but I will repeat it
one last time.
TOC:
1. Some stuff 'a'
2. Some stuff 'c'
(Document text)
1. Stuff about 'a'
2. Sutff about 'c'
I want to add 'b' between 1 and 2, without renumbering everything (in
the TOC and in the numbers below.) With automatic renumbering (but
apparently not if it's in a TOC), I can simply press enter and the
end of the 1. line, and it will make a new 2., and renumber the
existing 2. to 3., but that doesn't automatically do the other part.
