Step 2:
Highlight the first heading and select Heading 1.

Hint: Consistently formatting your headers will ensure your table of contents is properly paginated.

Once you've defined, say, three levels of titles (Headings 1 to 3), insert the Table of Contents. By default, the TOC will be created using the text from those three levels, but you can specify more levels or less levels. The texts with Heading 1 will appear in the TOC and Word will apply to them another built-in style called TOC 1.
