The maximum length for an index or table of contents (TOC) entry in Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02, 5.0 and 5.1, is 252 characters. Any extra characters will be truncated in the compiled index or table of contents. (This limitation was 256 characters for TOC entries in Word 4.0.)

You can create up to nine levels of entries and subentries in a table of contents, and up to seven levels in an index.
