I don't understand this suggested solution. How would creating a new page style
result in the ToC entry for my heading to have different text than the heading
itself? And what does that have to do with pagination?

The test document is somewhat confusing, because all of the text is lorem ipsum
gibberish that is hard to distinguish. But, be that as it may - the text in the
ToC entries is the same text as in text body.

Ah, I think perhaps you were focusing on page headers or footers. Remember what
RGB said: That is just a use case of abbreviated text. The point is to be able
to use a short version of the heading paragraph's text, wherever it is that you
need to use it. The popular uses are in ToCs and in page headers or footers.

I'm not sure I understand the second solution, even if we only thing about page
headers, even after your expalanation. The different kinds of "Hidden" things -
"Hidden characters", "Hidden text", "Hidden paragraphs" - each with their own
toggle in Tools > Options - are thoroughly confusing. People should certainly
not be treating alternative text as "hidden" actual text, and rely on using the
UI for hiding things to achieve such an effect.

Anyway, bottom line: it doesn't WORKSFORME, so un-resolving...
