Hi Micheal Myers,
Welcome to community.
I go through the post carefully. I suppose you are using OneNote for Window 10 app.
I'm afraid there is no out of box feature to automatically create a table of contents in OneNote as that in Word. I do understand it affects your daily work and feel sorry about it.
If you are willing, you may try this method as a workaround:
Create links to pages/sections/notebooks and paragraphs, then choose one page in OneNote, you may use this page as a table of contents. Then paste the links to this page.
For example, you can right click a page and click "Copy Link to Page". Then go to the page you define to store all links, you may directly paste the link there, or firstly type some words, then create hyperlink by selecting the words > right click and choose Link, then paste link in the Address box. Then when you click the link, it will directly go to that page.
Here is an article for reference: Create links to notebooks, sections, pages, and paragraphs in OneNote for Windows 10
In addition, I understand it would be great and much more convenient if we can create a table of contents as that in Word. I recommend sharing your valuable feedback by clicking Help menu > Feedback within OneNote. Feedback submit by this way directly goes to the related team. This is the best way to let the developers know your comments and requirements, work to investigate the issue and help to improve the product.
Thanks for your understanding. Have a nice day and stay safe!
Best Regards,
Tina
