Phil detailed a great strategy (below) for headings and then generating the TOC from them.

Regarding the Table of Contents in Word, it is possible to customize your automatically generated Table of Contents to control exactly which headings are included and to map heading levels to whatever TOC style level you desire.
I usually use a single Heading 1 in MS Word for the Title and then use Heading 2 and below for all the rest. Then I map Heading 2 to TOC 1, Heading 3 to TOC 2, Heading 4 to TOC 3, etc. And I exclude Heading 1 from the Table of Contents altogether.
And I usually create an additional Heading 2 style that I use just for the Table of Contents so that the Table of Contents itself does not appear in the Table of Contents.
