Default Create TOC from Section Headers (not headings)

Have a document that requires different headers for various sections of the
document. The Headers are unlinked and the headers need to be the 'entries'
for the TOC.

I cannot seem to create a TOC from the Headers. Even if I select & format
the individual headers as "Heading 1", Word doesn't seem to identify the
headers as a TOC entry.

Questions:
1) Can Headers be used as a TOC entry?
2) Can multiple Headers be identified as individual entries within the TOC?
2) If so, what is the procedure to create/identify a header so that the TOC
will populate?

Many, many thanks for your assistance.

No, text in a header or footer cannot be included in the table of contents.
In Word 2003 and earlier, only headings in the main document layer can be
"seen" by a TOC; Word 2007 adds the ability to see headings in text boxes
(the drawing layer). Instead of putting your headings in the header, put
them in the main document body and use StyleRef fields in the header as
needed.
