Default Generating a Table of Contents with Rules in Word 2007

The Table of Contents (TOC) for an installation guide I am updating includes
rules before each Heading 1. However, the rules do not show up in the TOC if
the previous section in the document does not have a Heading 2 style applied.
Sometimes a section just doesnt have any other headings besides Heading 1,
but I need to have the rules appear in the TOC. How can I do that without
making up a section for the Heading 2 style?

I tried to recreate the TOC below. Section 5 does not have a rule because
Section 4 in the document only has the Heading 1 style applied. If Section 4
had a Heading 2, then the rule would appear. Appendix A and Appendix B do not
have rules because the previous sections do not have Heading 2 styles.

Table of Contents
__________________________________________________ _____

SECTION 5:

APPENDIX B: SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS...................................... ..9

I know this is confusing. Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,
