If you insert the TOC via Insert > Reference > Index and Tables > Table of
Contents tab, the check button "Use hyperlinks instead of page numbers"
must
be turned on if you want the TOC entries to work as hyperlinks.

In an existing TOC, you can easily change this by editing the field code:
Select the entire TOC and press Shift+F9 to toggle field codes. Now you
should see something like this: { TOC \o "1-3" \u } (there may be more
codes
between the braces). Before the right brace, add "\h" (without the
quotes).
Now your TOC field should look something like this: { TOC \o "1-3" \u \h }
Press Shift+F9 to toggle field codes again. Press F9 to update the TOC.

Now the TOC entries should work as hyperlinks.

I'm creating a document, based on a standard work template. I'm using
Heading 1, Heading 2 etc. and then trying to insert a table of
contents.

The TOC goes in OK however, I can't click on any of the entries to jump
to that page. When I move the cursor over the TOC text, the displayed
Style changes from TOC1 to TOC2 as appropriate. If I load another
document that also has a TOC in it, moving through the TOC entries
displays TOC1 then Hyperlink, then TOC1 and so on.

Why does the Hyperlink not show, and why can't I jump to TOC entries?

TIA
