Question Automatic creation and population of tables, driven by style selection

Hi all, first post so be gentle with me!
I am using Word 2010 on a Win 7 PC (for work) and have an issue with a reasonable sized document that I produce on a regular basis.

The document is very text heavy analysis of a regular event which results in regular "Conditions", "Comments" and "Recommendations", (CC&Rs).
These CC&Rs are interspersed throughout the document but also collated together in three tables within the documents Executive Summary.

Currently, I produce the document then manually 'harvest' the CC&Rs an populate the table by hand (well, copy and paste), which is time consuming and a source of potential errors (particularly if one gets changed for any reason).
What I would like to do is set up styles for each of the CC&R types (I am happy with this part) and have the tables in the Exec Summary auto populate based on the selected styles.

I see the final tables containing the following information;
Comment, Ref No, page no.

I have tried to do this with a TOC but am unable to get the information formatted properly. I'm not averse to changing things if it makes them easier and quicker.
Many thanks in advance,

Steve J.
