Body: <p>For KDP, I want to create a table of contents with links for chapters (header 1) only but no links for subtitles (header 2) within chapters. The purpose is to shorten the table of contents, as I have a long list of subtitles. With Word, it automatically creates TOC links for both chapters and subtitles. How can I achieve what I want in Word or other free or less expensive apps or services? I've seen multiple Kindle books with such a TOC.</p>
  <p>Here is an example of a TOC I want to make:<br><br>
  Chapter 1 (Header 1) &lt;- with a link<br>
  Subtitle 1 / Subtitle 2 / Subtitle 3... &lt;- without links<br>
  Chapter 2 (Header 1) &lt;- with a link<br>
  Subtitle 1 / Subtitle 2 / Subtitle 3... &lt;- without links<br></p>
