When you create an automated table of contents, the first thing you think is to mark items in the document. The table of contents is formatted into the Heading levels. Level 1 will include any content formatted with the Heading 1 style.

If you want your custom tables of contents to appear before the Built-In category, but there is no name between "A" and "Built-In" that suits you, then put a space at the beginning of the category name. For example, name your category " Shauna". A space is alphabetized before a letter, so " Shauna" will be displayed before "Built-In". You can now see roughly what will be included in your Table of Contents.

In the table of contents above, each chapter uses a heading style, so there are four sections. To apply a heading style, select the text you want to format, then choose the desired heading in the Styles group on the Home tab. Now for the easy part!
