Major problems with generating TOC

Framemaker 7.2 on Windows XP.

I am trying to something very basic and simple - create a TOC for a
book. Right now, I have but a single file in the book. I use Add > Table
of Contents, select the paragraph tags that I want to include in the
TOC, then generate the book. When I open the TOC and go to view the
reference page to format the TOC entries, the TOC reference page shows
absolutely no entries for any of the paragraph tags that I have
selected. Instead, it shows entries for tags that do not exist anywhere
in the single file for which I am generating the TOC and this file was
not created from an existing template/file. This single file was created
totally from scratch. 

That is, I have chosen Heading1, Heading2, and Heading3 to generate my
TOC. When I open the TOC Reference page, I don't see any of the
following entries: Heading1TOC, Heading2TOC, and Heading3TOC. Instead, I
see a bunch of weird entries with buried end of flow symbols and tab
symbols and only the first two are selectable and editable. I cannot
select anything else on the Reference page.

I am absolutely stymied by this. In all of my years of using Framemaker,
I have never seen anything like this in my life. Any and all help is
sincerely appreciated.
