It's been over 20 years since I've used MS Word, but I've been pressed into duty writing a document for a family member. There are a few things I've forgotten how to do. I'm a bit stuck and I'm requesting some help. I'm trying to build a TOC in MS Word, but I'm having problems restricting my TOC to only keywords; it instead includes the text in the body of my document.

Here's an example of a document that I'm composing:

ARTICLE 1 - DEFINITIONS
1.1 Alpha. "Alpha" shall mean blah blah blah.
1.2 Bravo. “Bravo” shall mean blah blah blah.
1.3 Charlie. "Charlie" shall mean blah blah blah.

I would like my TOC to appear like this:

ARTICLE 1 - DEFINITIONS............................... Page 1
1.1 Alpha....................................................... Page 1
1.2 Bravo....................................................... Page 1
1.3 Charlie..................................................... Page 1

But I end up with a TOC like this:

ARTICLE 1 - DEFINITIONS.............................................. Page 1
1.1 Alpha. "Alpha" shall mean blah blah blah......... Page 1
1.2 Bravo. “Bravo” shall mean blah blah blah......... Page 1
1.3 Charlie. "Charlie" shall mean blah blah blah.... Page 1

I don't want the verbiage listed after each keyword. I simply want the section number, followed by the keyword, followed by the page #.

Hopefully, there's a simple way of doing this. I've looked through the web and could not find a solution, probably because I couldn't adequately describe my issue in a search box.

Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
