The Table of Contents template includes an entry for every one of the template files. Do not feel you need to fill in all of them. Simply delete the lines for the templates you are not going to use. You will probably never use all or even most of these templates in a single proposal. A small proposal may only use 3 templates, a larger proposal may use 10, and an even larger proposal may use 20 or more. Pick the templates based on your needs, the client's needs and the needs of the project.

You do not usually need a Table of Contents for small proposals.

Our company has to date delivered 40 proposals [approximately $350,000 in bids] and have secured all of them. I give credit to Proposal Pack for helping me deliver these in a timely manner."
