See http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html for general
principles, which still apply in Word 2007. You don't create the entries in
the TOC manually; you apply styles to the headings themselves and then
select the styles you've used for the headings to appear in the TOC. If you
use Word's built-in heading styles, they will be included automatically.
