Default Table of Contents - referencing table entries

Hi all,

I am trying to reference entries from a Word table into the Table of
Contents of my document. I have defined all of my headings in the
table but they just don't show up in my TOC. Is this even possible or
do I run into the same problem that Word has with referencing text
boxes? I know that it can only read what is in the text layer. I
guess I'm not sure whether a normal Word table is in the text layer or
if it is considered something else. At any rate, I haven't been able
to figure it out yet. I am grateful for any advice on this subject.

A normal Word table is in the text layer. Even if you have wrapped it, it is
still in the text layer. Do the headings in your tables use Word's built-in
heading styles? If not, do the styles have an outline level other than Body
Text? If not, have you assigned an outline level to them in the TOC Options?
