I've had a couple of projects where I needed tables of contents recently, and 
have discovered a new frustration, compounded by a glitch in the Windows Help 
file.
  
What I wanted was to have a table of contents based on Heading 1, with a tab 
after the heading, then the chapter number (set up already as a bookmark), 
then a hyphen, then the page number.
  
It turns out that there is only one character allotted for the divider 
between the heading text and page number, with no way around that.  What made 
it particularly frustrating was that the Word help file showed three hyphens 
as the divider character.  It took two phone calls to the the Word help line 
to discover that the three dashes was an artifact of converting a 
proportional font's em dash to a non-proportional font.  Which is 
particularly odd since Word's help file _isn't_ in a non-proportional font.  
Oh, well.
  
In any case, there appears to be no way to do what I want without building a 
ToC pretty much by hand.  Easier to type a bunch of chapter numbers and 
hyphens as the last step, inelegant though that might be.  
  
It seems a peculiarly idiotic limitation, though.
