This is a "Feature".  Subentry levels are designated by separating
the text for each level with a colon.  For example:
   .c.Auction Catalog:Silent Auction:Auction Items;
Word adds the page number and leader tab only to the last level entry,
in this case Auction Items.
If you want to include an end-of-entry character as part of your
table of contents entry text, surround the entry text with
single quotation marks.  For example:
   .c.'Auction Catalog: Item List';
[end quote from manual Table Of Contents]
