You need to make sure that your TOC actually compiles itself from
outline levels (and not, say, from certain styles). In your position, I
would certainly replace the found paragraphs with a certain style (say,
"Heading 3") and change the style according to your needs, but that's
not a precondition to solve your immediate problem. [It might be a
precondition for handling large documents better, though, using styles,
I mean ... :-)]
So, in short: try selecting the first character of your TOC (this will
select the whole TOC). Hit SHIFT-F9 (this should display the TOC field
code). Look up the field codes in Word's offline-Helf on the TOC field.
Post the field code again in here if necessary.

Hi Robert,
I did as you said, and when I hit SHIFT-F9, I get this:
{TOC \o "1-3" \h \z \u
What do I do now?

OK, the \o switch gathers paragraphs that are formatted in Heading 1-3,
and the \u switch those where an outline level is set (manually or
through style).
IOW, _if_ your replace-run was successfull, _and_ your TOC is updated
(select it again and hit F9, maybe SHIFT-F9, too, if it still shows the
code), then the TOC should show those entries.
If not, go to one of those entries in the text and check under Format |
Paragraph in the Layout tab whether the outline level is indeed <>
Bodytext ...
