The steps to insert a table of contents are as follows:

Step 1: Check heading styles

Select the text you want to include in the table of contents, and then set the heading styles for them. Choose a heading style in the Home tab, such as, Heading1. Check the text you want to include in the table of contents to ensure that they have a consistent heading style format.
