No controls.
For what it does, controls are unnecessary. The check boxes let you include/exclude an item from the TOC. The item text is editable.

You cannot reorder the items since they depend on the positions in your document. Open Word 2007 (or Open Office Writer for that matter) and try to reorder the items in the generated TOC: you can't, since the TOC depends on the headings you used in the document.

If you could reorder them, then how should the headings change position? Or the text below them?

Have you tried double-clicking the text field? Or pressing F2? These are standard GUI conventions. I'm not inventing anything new here.

Use a heading. It will automatically appear in the TOC. This is standard practice: see Word or OO Writer.

See first response about reordering.
