Include Chapter Number and Chapter Title in one TOC entry

I have created a book that is divided into three Parts (I, II, and III) and nine Chapters. Each part begins with a Part Number (e.g. Part I) and a Part Title (e.g. This is the first part.) The chapters follow the same format with a chapter number (e.g. Chapter One) and a title (e.g. This Is the first chapter.) I have placed the part components at level 1 and the chapter components as level 2. The problem is that I want to the two components to appear on the same line in the TOC as:

Part I:  This is the first part ................................1

     Chapter One:  This is the first chapter.....3

I have seen elsewhere that you can simply use the title and add numbers for unnumbered entries but that does not do what I want. Please note that I want "Part" + Roman numeral for the part and "Chapter" + the number written in text for the chapter as this is how the actual part and chapter headings are written.

So far I have drawn a blank as to how to do this. I know that I could build TC entries with the appropriate text for each part and chapter but that doesn't seem to be very efficient and is time consuming.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
See http://WordFAQs.mvps.org/TOCTips.htm#UnnumberedHeadings, which explains how to get the effect you want by using separate styles and then applying the appropriate numbering style to the TOC entries themselves. You can absolutely use Part I, II, III numbering for Level 1, Chapter One, Two, Three for Level 2, etc., but this also gives you the freedom to use "Chapter One," "Chapter Two," etc., in the text, yet number the chapters 1, 2, 3 in the TOC if desired.
