Thank you for your help, Suzanne and Stefan.

BTW I switched to Word 2007 because TOC and particularly Index in Word 2003
had a very bad reputation with the University Library and IT staff, and on a
Word Long Documents course in late 2004 we were warned off using them, as
they could be a bit quirky. I learned that this had been ironed out in Word
2007, hence my shift to Word 2007
