I am having Word create a table of contents automatically for me.  I
am creating a help file that goes over menus and submenus within an
application.  For example, I will have a header that describes the
"File" menu, and then subheaders that would describe the "New", Save",
Save As", etc options.  In the document itself, I would like it to
appear as

File

Here is the brief descriptoin of what is contained in the file menu.

File > New

Here is the description for File New.

On the table of contents, I would want it to appear as this:

Menu topics.......Page 2 (Header 1, so It's big and Bolded)
File..............Page 3 (Header 2, so it's smaller and italicized but
same level, left indent)
  New........Page  4 (Header 3, Smaller font and indented.)
  Save......Page 4 (Header 3, Smaller font, and indented.)

However, Here's what it ends up looking like:
Menu topics......Page 2
File......Page 3
   File > New........Page 4
   File > Save.......Page 4

I know I can customize the table of contents after Word creates it and
take out the extra verbiage, but it is a living document and is
constantly being updated.  Any ideas on how to keep it user friendly
at the detail level but look like I want on the table of contents
would be much appreciated!
