To add a table of contents in MS Word XP:
- Ensure that heading styles have been applied to the document.
- Click where the table of contents should be inserted.
- On the Insert menu, choose Reference, and then click Index and Tables.
- Select the Table of Contents tab.
- Under General, click the Formats drop-down list and then click the preferred style for the table of contents.
- Click OK.

Normally the table of contents is updated automatically, but you can always press the F9 function key.
