    @selah-chelyah Sounds like the problem you are having is resulting from not having the titles formatted as headings. Do you know what I’m talking about?

    All text is registered under a “style” in Google Docs. The text styled as a “Heading,” whether it be “Heading 1” or “Heading 2” etc., will cause it to appear differently on the Table of Contents.

    I took a couple screenshots to explain…

     

    After that your text should appear in the table of contents! Keep in mind though, that the table of contents doesn’t automatically update. You have to push the refresh button that appears when you hover your mouse over it:

    One more note: Changing the selected text to a heading can change it to a font you don’t want. So instead you can edit the font/color of the heading. Here’s how:

    See how after that, all the text followed the new style? (Blue Georgia.)

    I hope that explanation was helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions or need some clarification. (:
