Default Automatic page numbers in Word Table of Contents

How do I get automatic page numbers in the MS Word Table of Contents. By automatic I mean that they would change whenever the Heading (or Section) page/location changes within the document.

This is important as I created a manual at work however new sub-topics keeps getting added to that manual and I constantly have to manually go and change the page numbers for those sub-topics.

I attached a screenshot of what I'm describing. Also included a link below:

Page #s in a Word Table of Contents update automatically any time the Table of Contents is refreshed (e.g. by clicking in it and pressing F9).

It is not Automatic, in that it is not instantaneous. They update when you update your TOC.

Updating that table, though, is not that difficult.
