In Writer the only way I can think of to do this is to create a character
style for the run-in header. The problem is that the table of contents
utility looks only for header paragraph styles, not character styles. Unless
I'm wrong about that.

If I was doing this in Adobe InDesign I would create a nested style, but
Writer doesn't have that functionality.

Thanks John. Yes, InDesign, FrameMaker, Interleaf ... could be done
straightforwardly in various other products. 

The downside of mimicking Word, I suppose.
