Word is adding spaces in the TOC that aren't in the style-defined text
from which they're generated. For example, if I type this in the
heading:

Appendix A:

Boring Extraneous Stuff

where "Appendix" is added via "Enter formatting for number" in the
Multilevel dialog box, where the colon is manually typed, and where
there are two soft line breaks after the colon, I get this in the TOC:

Appendix A_:__Boring Extraneous Stuff

That is, Word is adding one space before the colon, and two after it.

The style's "Follow numbering with" parameter is set up to add
nothing, and there are no extraneous spaces in the "Enter formatting
for number" field.

Can I control these spaces somehow? I need no space prior to the colon
(don't care about the two subsequent).

Thanks...
