Make sure that you're using heading styles for those items that you want in your table of contents, then you can just apply a table of contents.
Both of those links are from the Word 2008 help files. I found the first one by searching for "heading style" (since I wasn't sure if you had those in your document already), and the second by searching for "table of contents". Please use the buttons at the bottom of the help file ("was this information helpful?") to tell us if that information was actually helpful to you -- if you tell us that it wasn't, we have the chance to update the help to make it better in the future.

I already have heading styles and have inserted the TOC into my document. However, the TOC is not clickable. When I click on a heading title in the TOC, it just "greys" the entire TOC.
When I opened the file again on my Mac, the linked TOC is still there.
Information! Your TOC works on Windows PC but not in Word 2008. Among the information that you did not share:I am a new forum member and having enormous problem with Mac Word 2008 TOC - I have read forum messages, googled for solutions - but am stuck. I have a formatted Word doc with TOC etc - but I cannot update the TOC using F9 or any other method. I can update it using a PC and then return to using Mac but I cannot update it on my Mac - I cannot work out how to get the dialogue box which gives me the option to update whole table or part table - I can do this with same doc on a PC - I used to be able to do this with previous version of Word on my Mac by highlighting the TOC - using F9 then the dialogue vox would appear. Any solutions most appreciated. I have tried the ideas already described in this Forum but so far, no success
