Default Creating a hyperlink from the headings

I have completed a 40 page document with five different heading types listed
in my table of contents. I am trying to create a hyperlink on one of the
last pages and link it to a Header 5 that is listed previously in the
document, but when I highlight the text and select 'insert hyperlink', only
the first three Headers for the document are available for selection. How
can I make the third and fourth headers appear for selection when creating a
hyperlink referencing them? I know the headers exist, I formatted them and
used the auto table of contents tool to create this, they just won't display
for selection in adding hyperlinks.

Thanks in advance for anyones help!

What "auto table of contents tool" are you referring to? The only headings
that are listed in the Hyperlink and Cross-reference dialogs are Word's
built-in heading styles: Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, and so on up to
Heading 9. Are those the styles you have applied? I tried Heading 5 in my
document, and it came up in the Hyperlink dialog.

Sorry, I guess I didn't explain that very well. The auto TOC I'm talking
about is when I'm at the beginning of the document, I can click on 'Insert'
then 'Reference' then 'Index and Tables'. The table of contents that I
'auto-create' at that point, displays the Headings 1 through 5 that I've used
in my document. But when I try to insert a hyperlink referencing back to one
of the Header 4 or Header 5's, the box that shows the available fields within
the document to link to is only displaying the Headers 1 through 3. I'm sure
its just a setting I'm missing somewhere, but I've searched the MS Word
'help' with no luck on this! Any ideas on what I'm missing here? The
version of Word I'm using is MS Word 2002 if that's any help.

You should be able to hyperlink to any paragraph in one of the built-in
heading styles. This has nothing to do with the TOC (except that it also, by
default, picks up the built-in heading styles). If you used the built-in
Heading 5 style for your fifth-level headings, then you should be seeing it
in the Hyperlink dialog, and I don't know why you don't unless the heading
is in a text box (in which case the TOC wouldn't pick it up, either).
