Default Building table of contents from Text in Header Section

I am using Word 2003
What I need to do is to build a table of contents from Text that appears in
the Header section of a document. I have tried everything but cannot get this
to work.
Can anybody help?

Default Building table of contents from Text in Header Section

What you are trying to do is not possible. Text in headers (and
footers) can not be included in a table of contents. Even if it was
possible, Word wouldn't know what page number to assign to it, since
headers are not limited to a single page. Place the heading in the
main body of the document instead.

However, you can repeat the current heading in the header; just insert
a STYLEREF field. See the first section of the article at
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm.
