Table of Contents - adding extra headings

There is a Table of Contents already set up in a document I am editing. I have added in an extra chapter to the main text and the page numbers updated when i clicked on 'update table' but i need the name of the chapter to feature in the TOC as well. 

I think it's something to do with formatting the header of the Chapter and then perhaps typing it manually into the TOC but I am unsure and instructions online I'm not finding too clear...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You need to update the TOC. See http://wordfaqs.mvps.org/TOCArithmetic.htm#AddEntries.

You make the change in the heading, and, as Suzanne noted, update the table of contents field by right-clicking on it to update or pressing F9 with that field selected. Read the articles I linked in my earlier post. They will take you less time than you've spent trying to get help here.
