In all seriousness, Im really astounded. Im going to keep playing, but a couple of things are sticking out to me already, so I hope you don't mind me asking...And yes, I AM reading. And I am SO grateful to no have to vet 9,000 links for the ones that actually give me solid information without requiring me to sign up for their BS or demand access to my camera....thank you so much, already.
The first thing that is jumping out at me is that I seem to be experiencing some inconsistancy with line spacing. I have applied a 'sytle' (heh) to several selections of text. Sometimes it seems that it creates a nice little niche for itself, with a bit of separation above and below. Other times it's grinding right up on the other text, much like that creeper in the club that won't leave you alone. This remains even after I make that Styles thing over on the right pop up and 'select all xxxx instances' and 'modify' it to the spacing settings I want. Clues?
Why does it sometimes apply to the chunk of text below what I've selected? How do I unapply?
Last one.
I would like to create one large document out of the 7 that Im working with, but I would like to keep each table of contents. Can this be done, or am I better off making each individually, than copypasta into one document? (this is just for ease of printing.) Can I in any way indicate to the Table of Contents Maker to cease it's magicing at a certain spot?
You guys...are blasted saints...or devils. Not sure. Either way I like ya. Thank you SO SO much.

Adding to what Paul has told you...
Sometimes a paragraph on your page is not a paragraph to Word. It depends on how the writer ended it. The only way to know is to display non-printing formatting marks.
Showing non-printing formatting marks in Microsoft Word
Often imported text will use line breaks rather than paragraph breaks to end a logical paragraph. In this case, Word sees everything between two paragraph marks as one paragraph. As Paul said, when you apply a paragraph style to a paragraph, it applies to the entire paragraph.
Also complicating things is that Word has something called "linked" styles which act like paragraph styles (and control spacing) when applied to a paragraph but acts as a character style when applied to selected text.
