Word & Python - Create Table of Contents

I'm using the pywin32.client extension for python and building a Word document. I have tried a pretty good host of methods to generate a ToC but all have failed.

I think what I want to do is call the ActiveDocument object and create one with something like this example from the MSDN page:

Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=0, End:=0) 
ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents.Add Range:=myRange, _ 
 UseFields:=False, UseHeadingStyles:=True, _ 
 LowerHeadingLevel:=3, _ 
 UpperHeadingLevel:=1

Except in Python it would be something like:

wordObject.ActiveDocument.TableOfContents.Add(Range=???,UseFiles=False, UseHeadingStyles=True, LowerHeadingLevel=3, UpperHeadingLevel=1)

I've built everything so far using the 'Selection' object (example below) and wish to add this ToC after the first page break.

Here's a sample of what the document looks like:

objWord = win32com.client.Dispatch("Word.Application")
objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open('pathtotemplate.docx') #
objSel = objWord.Selection
#These seem to work but I don't know why...
objWord.ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Footers(1).PageNumbers.Add(1,True)
objWord.ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Footers(1).PageNumbers.NumberStyle = 57
objSel.Style = objWord.ActiveDocument.Styles("Heading 1")
objSel.TypeText("TITLE PAGE AND STUFF")
objSel.InsertParagraph()
objSel.TypeText("Some data or another"
objSel.TypeParagraph()
objWord.Selection.InsertBreak()
####INSERT TOC HERE####

Any help would be greatly appreciated! In a perfect world I'd use the default first option which is available from the Word GUI but that seems to point to a file and be harder to access (something about templates).

Thanks

Manually, edit your template in Word, add the ToC (which will be empty initially) any intro stuff, header/footers etc., then at where you want your text content inserted (i.e. after the ToC) put a uniquely named bookmark. Then in your code, create a new document based on the template (or open the template then save it to a different name), search for the bookmark and insert your content there. Save to a different filename.

This approach has all sorts of advantages - you can format your template in Word rather than by writing all the code details, and so you can very easily edit your template to update styles when someone says they want the Normal font to be bigger/smaller/pink you can do it just by editing the template. Make sure to use styles in your code and only apply formatting when it is specifically different from the default style.

Not sure how you make sure the ToC is actually generated, might be automatically updated on every save.
