I assume you're talking about TC fields? This is described in the "Create a
table of contents" Help topic, in the section "Create a table of contents
from entries you mark yourself:
Use the Mark Table of Contents box to insert TOC fields into your document.
1. Select the first portion of text that you want to include in your table
of contents.
2. Press ALT+SHIFT+O.
3. In the Level box, select the level and click Mark.
4. To mark additional entries, select the text, click in the Entry box, and
click Mark. When you have finished adding entries, click Close.
5. Click where you want to insert the table of contents.
6. On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and click Index and Tables.
7. Click the Table of Contents tab.
8. Click the Options button.
9. In the Table of Contents Options box, select the Table entry fields check
box.
10. Clear the Styles and Outline levels check boxes.
But it would be a lot easier just to apply the appropriate heading styles
(modified as needed) to the desired headings.
