Table of Contents - Suppress Outline Numbering/Mark for TOC in Hea

I have two issues.

Firstly, I want to create a table of contents that does not show the outline
numbering. For example, I want it to read as follows:

Name..............1
Definitions........2
Purpose...........4

as an example... where my outline numbering in my document could actually
read:

Section 1 Name
1.01 Text

Section 2 Definitions
2.01 Text
2.02 Text

Section 3 Purpose
3.01 Text

I only want the first level numbering to appear, that is the "section"
numbering, but do NOT want it to say SECTION 1 in the TOC.

Second issue:
I have recurring chapter headings in the header, for example:

ARTICLE 1 - Interpretation and Corporate Matters
ARTICLE 2 - Membership
ARTICLE 3 - Reporting

which repeat for each page of the chapter. I want to include this in the
TOC, so it reads, in the end, as follows:

ARTICLE 1 - Interpretation and Corporate Matters

Name.....................1
Definitions..............2
Purpose.................4

ARTICLE 2 - Membership

Categories............5
Broker..................7

etc.

Unfortunately, it seems one cannot Mark for TOC in a header.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this feat?

I appreciate any assistance available.

Best,

Sorry, I should have indicated I am working in Word 2003.
As well, this is an 80 page document, so I'd prefer NOT to have to manually
mark the entire document, if at all possible.

Thanks!

Ok, so I have solved #2, by marking "nothing" for TOC prior to the start of
the new chapter's sections (ie. below the new chapter heading), and entering
the chapter name into the Mark for TOC box, to appear on my page as follows:
{TC "ARTICLE 1 - Interpretation and Corporate Matters" \f \C \1 "1" }

Now just need a fix for the first issue...

If you don't want to manually mark text for inclusion in the TOC, you will
have to make use of two paragraph styles, one for the numbering and one for
the text of the heading. Include only the latter in the table of contents,
and apply numbering to the corresponding TOC style.
