Hi Howard,
Here's an extract from the Help files which hopefully will give you an insight
into the process.

Layout: Generate Table of Contents.
Keystroke: Select from Layout menu
This option enable a Table of Contents to be generated automatically within a
Braille document. It can produce Braille or Print Page numbers.
Note: This option is only available when a Braille document is in focus.
For many transcribers, this is one of the most labor saving of DBT's options.
But before you even consider using this option, it is vitally important to
appreciate that your original document must contain appropriate Heading Styles.
Also, a common mistake is to confuse a "Heading" Style with a "Header" and/or
"Footer" Style. Remember, a Heading is contained within the text of the
document. A Header (or footer) appears at the top or bottom of the page(s)
With 19 Controls, the dialogue may appear daunting, but normally only requires
to be set up once. They are described in the order in which you would use the
Tab key to move through them.
Style to use: This is a List Box which currently offers three options for
generating a Table of Contents. BANA, French or Custom.
If BANA is selected, your further choices are severely restricted, since DBT
follows BANA recommendations for Tables of Contents. You can select what
Heading Levels are to be included. You can decide what text you want for left,
center and right columns. That's it!
Include Levels One Through: (default is 99) Your document may contain for
example, DBT Heading Styles from H1. to H3. but you may only want the first two
levels, H1. & H2. , to appear in the Table of Contents. You would therefore
enter 2 in this box.
Center Top Level: (Check Box)
Number Top Level: (Check Box)
The next three items are grouped together to define a Single Level Table of
contents.
Left Margin (Single Level): (Text Box)
Runover Indent (Single Level): (Text Box)
Right Margin (Single Level): (Text Box)
The next five items are grouped together to define a Multi-Level Table of
Contents.
Left Margin for Level 1: (Text Box)
Left Margin Increment: (Text Box)
Runover Indent: (Text Box)
Right Margin: (Text Box)
Always Use Maximum Runover: (Check Box)
Centered Heading: Chapter
Left Column Heading: Contents
Right Column Heading: Page
Character for Guide Dots: List Box - Choices are: Dot 3, 5 or 6, or dots 3 & 6.
Use: List Box where you can choose either "Braille Page Numbers" or "Print Page
Numbers".
OK - Button
Cancel - Button
Note: It is essential to have Reference Page Numbers properly used in DBT if
Print Page Numbers are to be used.
