Is there some way to manually add a line of content to an already existing TOC?



I have a working TOC and I would like to add to it by preferably typing myself or if that's not possible by highlighting text in document. But I don't want any changes to be made to the layout of my document.

Is this possible??

IMO, the best way to add to an existing automatically generated ToC without changing the content of your document is to use TC fields.

TOC Tips and Tricks by Suzanne Barnhill

Anything you manually add to, delete from, or reformat (except when it results in a TOC Style auto-reformatting), in a TOC will be lost immediately you do anything to cause the TOC to refresh (e.g. a print preview or printout). You cannot have content appear in the TOC that isn't in the document body.

Yes, adding a TC field is changing the content of the document in that a hidden field is on a page. It does not change the appearance of the document, though, and does show up in the ToC. Paul is correct that anything you type into a ToC will simply disappear next time it is updated.
