I'm creating a document, based on a standard work template. I'm using
Heading 1, Heading 2 etc. and then trying to insert a table of
contents.

The TOC goes in OK however, I can't click on any of the entries to jump
to that page. When I move the cursor over the TOC text, the displayed
Style changes from TOC1 to TOC2 as appropriate. If I load another
document that also has a TOC in it, moving through the TOC entries
displays TOC1 then Hyperlink, then TOC1 and so on.

Why does the Hyperlink not show, and why can't I jump to TOC entries?

TIA

If you insert the TOC via Insert Reference Index and Tables Table of
Contents tab, the check button €œUse hyperlinks instead of page numbers€� must
be turned on if you want the TOC entries to work as hyperlinks.

In an existing TOC, you can easily change this by editing the field code:
Select the entire TOC and press Shift+F9 to toggle field codes. Now you
should see something like this: { TOC \o "1-3" \u } (there may be more codes
between the braces). Before the right brace, add €œ\h€� (without the quotes).
Now your TOC field should look something like this: { TOC \o "1-3" \u \h }
Press Shift+F9 to toggle field codes again. Press F9 to update the TOC.

Now the TOC entries should work as hyperlinks.
