First of all, it's called LaTex. Second, it is not only nice for formatting 
a table of contents, it's just gorgeous for _anything_, really!  Third: 
yes, there is a learning curve involved, but it's really worth the trouble, 
reallyreallyreally. The time it takes to learn the basics of LaTex is about 
the time it takes to try to make a table of contents with Microsoft Word. 
And LaTex will be useful for you not only for this project, but for your 
whole life, no matter what you are doing. It's just a great thing. Plus, 
it's very well documented, and for any question you might have there is an 
easily accessible answer on the web.

Sorry for this emotional pleading, but it's just true :-) (Anyway, I'm just 
a contributor as well and not part of the people who decide which system to 
use. So, it's really just my personal opinion ...)

Cool! Really happy to have some more biology people around :-)

Kind regards,
Melanie
