SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for Windows, you can use a bookmark as the text argument in a table of contents entry (TC) field; this causes the bookmark to become part of the table of contents.

MORE INFORMATION
NOTE: You cannot insert the bookmark field by pressing CTRL+F9 in the Field Code box of the Insert Field command; therefore, the following procedure is more efficient than using the Insert Field command for entering a table of contents entry that references a bookmark.

The following procedure outlines a method for displaying a bookmark in a table of contents:

 Press CTRL+F9 to insert field braces at the location in the document where you want the table of contents entry to appear.

NOTE: If the bookmark is in the header or footer section of the document, the TC field must be entered in the main body of the document. Type TC. Be sure to press the SPACEBAR to create a space after TC.  Press CTRL+F9 to insert a second set of field braces, then type the bookmark name. The resulting TC field should appear as follows: "{TC {bookmark_name}}|undefined" Add any additional TC field switches or instructions after the bookmark field.

For more information about the TC field, search for "Table of Contents" using the Word for Windows Help menu.
