Well, that should work, but it must be awfully tedious unless you write
a macro to do it.

Here's an alternative solution that works in Word 95 (and which hopefully
works the same way in Word 97...):
1) Define a character style that is applied to the heading text.
2) Insert a TC (table of contents entry) field code that references that
    character style using a nested STYLEREF field code.
3) Build your ToC from the TC fields using the \t switch.

For example, define a style called "char runninghead" and apply it to
the heading text. Then, some place after the text of each heading,
insert a nested field code { TC "{ STYLEREF "runninghead" }" }. Then
generate the ToC using a field code something like { TOC \o "1-4" \t },
which will pick up the standard Heading 1 through Heading 4 entries
(specified by the \o switch and the "1-3" parameter) plus the TC
field codes (specified via the \t switch).
