Sorry I was a bit confusing,

I have this:

1.  Rights and responsibilities
2.  Procedures
3.  Liabilities

but I want this:

Grievance Committee
Procedures
Liabilities

In the TOC, I read the page you sent, and it discusses how to go in the
reverse direction.  I think what I want is impossible because the
paragraph is formatted as a numbered list and TOC pulls that from the
text.

In the body it's something like:

1.    Grievance Committee. The Grievance Committee shall consider
individual grievances brought before the committee by members of the
faculty. The committee shall examine alleged grievances.

So it's doing what it should do but i'm being difficult to wanting to
change how it is.
This particular piece is under 'TOC 3' style and I go into the style
and set bullets and numbering to 'None' but it already is set that way!

Thanks

Yes I see what you did there, it works but unfortunately it's the same
as editing the TOC when its linked up.  I'm doing this for a faculty
member so for myself it would be easy and I would do it this way, but
for her, I want it to be as easy as clicking 'update field' and it
ignores my automated numbering in word.  Unless I misunderstood, but I
don't think I did.

Thanks for that though, never knew I could do what you showed me
