I'm new at this! Word automatically built a table of contents. In most cases,
the text in the table is OK, but some is paragraph in length.
How do I change the text so that every time I update the table, I don't have
to reenter my desired text wording?

The TOC picks up headings. If you want to change TOC entries, you have to
change the headings. At a guess, see
