Yes, I realized that -- of course, after I hit Send.
Still, the TC fields must be in the main text, not in the header pane or any
other story. Since the text to be displayed in the TOC isn't present in the
main text, the choice is either to construct the TC field in the header and
then cut/paste it to the main text (displaying Hidden text in order to be
able to see it), or to construct the field directly in the main text.

I am currently putting togather the annual reports for a client and

of the section in the header rather than as a heading as the method
I mentiond before doesn't work. I can't add a heading in as the
report has to match the client exactly, does anyone know how to get
around this?
The TOC generator can't "see" the header, footer, text box, and other
stories other than the main text. (The article
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...ceAnywhere.htm explains
about stories in Word documents.)
Instead, you can place a hidden, nonprinting field in the main text
at the proper location and tell the TOC to include it.
At each point where you would normally mark a section title heading
(but there isn't one now), click Insert Field and choose to insert
a TC field. Enter the text you want to appear in the table of
contents. Check the box for "outline level" and tell it what level
to use. TC fields are automatically marked as Hidden text. Unlike most
fields
whose codes are displayed by Shift+F9 or Alt+F9, these fields appear
only when you display Hidden text (for example, by clicking the ¶
button). In the Table of Contents dialog, click the Options button and
check
the box for the Table Entry Fields option. You should leave the
Styles option checked as well, so the TOC will include both kinds of
entries. Then update the TOC.
