If you don't want "Summary:" to appear in the Table of Contents:

1. Insert a paragraph break after "Summary:"
2. Format the new "Summary:" paragraph in a Style other than a heading Style
3. Click anywhere in the "Summary:" paragraph then press Ctrl-Alt-Enter.
4. Update the Table of Contents.
FWIW, step 3 applies what's called a Style Separator, which allows two different paragraph Styles to be used in the same logical paragraph.
