Word's TOC over entries in columns keeps its TOC Heading title in a one-column
section above a blank paragraph that ends it; Update Table moves the field into
that blank paragraph. Replace (references.toc with settings) put the new title
under the break, inside the two-column section, and Remove kept the blank
paragraph and its break.
Observed black-box in Word for Mac 16.114.3 on a synthetic document: Insert
Table of Contents keeps the title, the blank paragraph and the break and only
changes the field; Remove Table of Contents takes the title, the blank
paragraph and its break with the entries.
Replace now keeps the title above the break (renamed when a title is given)
and rebuilds the field and entries in place; Remove takes the title and the
blank section-ending paragraph with the table. A paragraph of another style
above the break stays.

A hyperlinked TOC wrote each entry's page number as plain text inside the
link. Word writes it as a PAGEREF _Toc… \h field, so Update Field in Word
moves the number with its heading; with plain text the numbers stay what
they were when the file was saved.
Entries that link to a bookmark now end with that field (result: the page
number). Entries without a link and \n levels are unchanged. The DOCX span
test looks for the TOC's own end, the last one, since PAGEREF fields now end
inside it.
