Word 2007 Headings: whole line or nothing

[andyg]

I had a large technical document I worked on in Word 2003 where the beginning
of each section had a species name and other information (codes, authorities,
etc.). I was able to select just one portion of the line (the name) and
assign it to a heading, and have it appear in the Table of Contents. After
importing the file in Word 2007, it will not show that text in the ToC, and
if I go to reselect it as a Heading style, it will not allow me to select
just one part of the line--either the whole line is part of the Heading, or
none of it. Doesn't matter if I save the document in "compatibility mode" or
not. This new feature is not an improvement. I'm guessing there's no way
around it?
