Default Table of Contents Formatting Problem

I'm trying to create a table of contents after having written a paper. My problem is that every time I "add text" to my TOC, the text I added takes on the formatting of my TOC. So, stuff that I want centered in the body of my paper ends up aligned left after I add it to the TOC.



In short, I want to add text but don't want my TOC formatting to apply to the words I'm referencing within the body of my paper.

The formatting of TOC entries are controlled by the TOC styles (TOC 1 through TOC 9). In other words, the trick is to modify those styles to suit your needs.

For more on TOC creation in Word, take a look at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...fcontents.html.
