Table of content; heading styles being picked up incorrectly
My TOC is a mixture of Bold and Non-Bold. I would like it all Non-Bold. The heading styles are set up that Heading 1 is Bold, this shows in TOC as Non-Bold, and Heading 2 is Non-Bold and shows up in TOC as Non-Bold. I have swopped these around to achieve the desired result but would like to know why this happens because presumably it shouldn't! |

The TOC formatting is largely controlled by the TOC Styles, not just your Heading Styles. Have you tried editing the relevant TOC Styles?

Formatting applied directly to a heading, that is, without modifying the underlying heading style, will be reflected in the TOC entry.
Font formatting that acts as a toggle (bold/not bold is one example) you may get seemingly unpredictable results. For example, if the heading is formatted as bold and you have turned that off by selecting the text and clearing the bold attribute, the TOC entry may appear as bold.

Thanks
Thank you both for the response. I have now updated the TOC styles too, but I also think that I was being affected by the issue of what was in the text being picked up by TOC. I think it has been resolved now on this document. I will take it forward to the next and hopefully it won't reappear! Thanks again.
