Hi Jonart,

You should be able to do that by either:
1. Inserting Section breaks either side of the TOC and giving the Section containing the TOC wider margins than the rest of the document; or
2. Formatting the TOC paragraphs with some left & right indenting.

The reason you can't select the TOC as an object is that it isn't one - it's a field. You can see this by selecting the TOC and pressing Shift-F9 to expose the field code.
