My TOC is doing exactly what it should be doing, which is why i'm
upset. I have 'heading' Text which is numbered in the body which also
appears numbered in the TOC. I don't want it to be numbered, and
cannot seem to change it.
The numbering isn't styled as a heading, the proceeding text is.
All I know to do is to get rid of my numbered list and type in numbers
myself to make it work but I don't want to lose my auto numbering
feature.

I'm not sure what this means, but if it means that the numbered paragraphs
are not the headings you want included in the TOC, see

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

Select the table of contents and then use Ctrl+Shift+F9 to unlink it from
the headings in the document. Then use the Alt key plus the mouse to select
the "column" containing the numbers and the tab space that follows them and
delete it.
This should of course be done on a copy of the file in case you need to go
back and edit the original.

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

In this case I think what you're going to have to do is construct the TOC
based on TC fields, into which you will type just the text you want
included.

I agree, I guess the faculty will have to learn how to add a TC
reference to a word which is what I thought would have to happen to
begin with. Thanks
