Hi, Molly:

In the Table of Contents specification on the TOC reference 
page, use the <$paranum> or <$paranumonly> building block 
instead of <$chapnum>, to retrieve either the whole 
autonumbered chapter paragraph, or just its number, for TOC 
entries.

<$chapnum> retrieves the chapter number of the file in which 
it appears, so in the table of contents file, it retrieves the 
table of contents file's chapter number.

HTH
