No, Word cannot "see" headings in headers and footers for the purpose
of TOC creation. There are two possibilites he

1. You can add a frame around each paragraph that you want in the
header area, and drag the frame into that area. (To add a frame around
text, just select it and click the Insert Frame button on the Forms
toolbar.) Word will see these paragraphs for TOC purposes, but they
won't actually be in the header area; in fact, each paragraph will
*cover* more or less of the header area.

2. Alternatively, keep all headings in the main body of your doucment
and then use a STYLEREF field in the header to have the current
heading of a specific level displayed there.

I have headers that contain text styled as "Header 1". When I
insert a Word
Table of Contents (TOC) I expected this header text to be collected
as a TOC
entry but it is not. Only "Header 1" text from the main body of the
document
makes it to the TOC.
Is there a way for Word to include text from Headers and Footers in
the TOC?
I am using Word 2003.
