Thanks Kelly.

You point out in your post that InDesign won’t grab “custom” positioned anchored objects – I wonder if that was part of my problem. Unfortunately, my headings have a rule applied above and below, so giving the anchored text box an inline position made the rules stick out past the heading. Also, I wonder if the fact that I’m using the text in the anchored object as the third level of the TOC complicates the process.

At this point, I’m well down the road using Peter’s advice (only a few dozen lines to add and hide). It feels a little klugdy, but it also works very well, and I haven’t seen an elegant solution.

I still have the version of my file with the anchored, non-printing text boxes if you are willing to take a look. How would I share that file with you? I’d really love to learn something new. :)
