Nancy,

In this instance you can eat your cake, and have it too.

In the book file, select the TOC file and from the menu select 
Format > Document > Numbering, then select the Chapter tab. Select 
Text format, and type your text in it. In this case TOC. Or whatever 
you want. This value will be inserted in all <$chapnum> variables for 
that file in that book.
