Great so far, but I then update the heading on each page with just A & B.
When I print the doc, each TOC entry shows just A & B.

That's precisely how a TOC field is supposed to work - it updates to reflect any changes to the referenced headings. While there is an option to update just page #s when you select the TOC and press F9, that's not going to help if you add new Headings or delete some. Furthermore, if Word's 'update fields before printing' option is on you may find you're getting unwanted updates anyway. To prevent such updates, you'd need to lock or unlink the field. You can lock it via Ctrl-F11 (Ctrl-Shift-F11 unlocks) or unlink it (i.e. convert to text) via Ctrl-Shift-F9.
