How do I suppress a line break inserted before a table of contents (at the beginning of a document or a section)?

 * 1) edit the table of contents to remove its protection:
 * 2) * right click on the table of contents and select Edit index;
 * 3) * under the Type tab, uncheck Protected against manual changes; and
 * 4) * click OK.
 * 5) place the cursor at the beginning of the table of contents;
 * 6) press the  key to delete the line break; and
 * 7) edit the table of contents to protect it again.

The table of contents is updated while it is being validated.
