Default Abbreviated Short title for TOC

I have a title of an article that's longer than needed for the TOC. I thought
I saw a way to substitue a shorter title for what is marked for the TOC, but
I cannot find it. I am imagining it or is there a way to do this?

EG: For "HIGGINS PREMIUM PET FOODS ANNOUNCES CASH PRIZES
FOR 2007 NATIONAL CAGE BIRD SHOW" use instead "Higgins Announces Cash Prizes
for NCBS"

Thanks, Mary

Default Abbreviated Short title for TOC

Your best bet in this instance is to use a TC field. Note that you must also
check the box for "Table entry fields" in the TOC Options dialog for it to
actually show up in the TOC. Also, you'll have to apply some style other
than the heading style you're picking up for the TOC (unless you build the
entire TOC with TC fields instead of styles or outline levels); you can
create a non-heading style (that is, one with an outline level of Body Text)
that is formatted just the same as the heading style applied to other
headings at the same level.

Also, note that if you wanted to include the entire title in the TOC, you
can control wrapping so that it doesn't overrun the page number. This and
other tips can be found in http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm.
