"I am usually first writing the table of contents. It is similar to brainstorming but it put some sense into the structure as well. The idea is to make sure that I have enough titles such that all the topics at the end will be covered. Of course that it might be changed later on but usually I am only adding few sections at the end if I put enough thought to it in advance."
Making a table of contents is a little different in Word 2003 but the idea of styles is the same. Microsoft also offer a short course in making a table of contents in Word 2007.
