I've marked the first TOC's headings with A and the second TOC's headings with B. The TOCs appear with the correct text and page numbers. However, the heading numbers (using outlined type numbering) does not exist. Can someone tell me what I have to do to get the heading's number to appear in the TOC also?

Then what you are seeing is normal: no numbering will be included--just the selected text. You'd have to display hidden text and then edit the TC field code to include either the typed number or a cross-reference to the number.
