Have you actually verified that the TOC is correct in those cases?  I've
seen quite a few structured word documents create by office-wizards with
a TOC that did *not* actually match the document.  That is, it would
list section one starting on page 8, but it actually starts on page 6 or
something like that.

Boy does it fall way short.  There is also the whole thing about how the
user interface just plain gets in the way.  Office 97 was actually
pretty good in terms of the UI not being overly annoying.  I never used
2000 much, but I have recently been forced into using XP and 2003 and
they both *suck* in this respect.
