Word 2007 modifying existing toc styles
I have a long Word 2007 document of a published book. It contains a toc. I wish to remain in Word 2007 and modify the styles in the existing toc.
When I: 1. right click on the existing toc in the document, 2. select "edit field" 3. scroll down to toc and click on it, I get an area to modify styles. But it just includes a a long list of toc 1, toc 2, etc. with TOC 2 seemingly having an arrow pointed to it and I do not know what to do with that table. Which one is the current existing toc using? What I need to do is modify the font and paragraph spacing for "Heading 1", for "Heading 2", etc. inclusions in the existing toc and have the new formatting persist when I later update the table. How can I simply modify just the styles for "Heading 1", for "Heading 2" inclusions? Thank you |

I figured it out. In case someone else needs to know:
The TOC level marked with an arrow in the illustration I attached corresponds, not to different TOCs, but to the Heading level within that TOC. TOC 2 was marked with an arrow in the illustration I attached because my cursor happened to be on a "Heading 2" entry in the existing TOC when I clicked on "Edit Field". Clicking on the modify button allows you to modify the font and style for each heading entry. So, clicking on modify with TOC 1 selected modifies Heading 1, TOC 2 modifies Heading 2, etc. I hope this helps someone else. |

... and...
Sometimes, TOC 2 is based on TOC 1 and TOC 3 is based on TOC 2. If that is the case, modifying an upper-level style will modify the lower level styles as well. See: How styles in Microsoft Word cascade by Shauna Kelly |
