Glad to read that you have found a solution to your problem.

Just so you know, in case you need this at a later date... There is a way to
build a TOC by using only certain words.

Insert TC fields next to the text you want to use in the TOC (Insert >
Fields), then build a simple TOC using the \f switch: {TOC \f}.

You can also mix the type of TOC (based on TC fields and/or based on outline
level styles or paragraph styles). When inserting the TC fields, specify the
TOC level you want : {TC Some text \l 2} (this a lower case "L"). Then use
regular paragraph styles like Heading 1 to 9 and use the \o switch in the
TOC, or even use your own styles and add the \t switch. You could end up with
a TOC field like this one:

   {TOC \t "MyTOC2 Style,2,MYTOC3 Style,3" \o \f}

(Depending on your regional settings in Windows, you might need ";" instead
of "," in the \t switch definition.)
