Default TOC Entries

Is there a way to create a TOC entry from a Heading Style that includes only
some of the text in a paragraph?

For example, I have a glossary document that has many name/definition
entries in the following format:

2.5 Foo
"Foo" means ....

In the above example, there is a Heading 2 named "Foo" that is auto-numbered
to 2.5.
The next paragraph in normal text and is the definition of Foo.

The problem is that this type of formatting takes up a lot of space in the
document. I would prefer to format the document as follows:

2.5 Foo. "Foo" means...

I have tried marking the Foo text after the autonumber as Heading2 and the
rest of the text be a non-Heading font. I have also made the paragraph
marker at the end of the paragraph be a non-Heading font. Unfortunately,
when the TOC is generated it uses all of the text of the paragraph as the TOC
entry (clearly not what I want).

I tried using TC fields, however, I cannot seem to get them to pickup the
Autonumbering, and I don't want to type in the heading levels into to the TC
field text (since it can and does change with some frequency as I organize
the doc).

Any input on how to solve this problem would be appreciated...

Thanks in advance...
