Default Office 2007 - How to add new style for TOC entry

For an existing TOC, just modify the TOC field code to include the \t
switch (see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm).


Correction: The link is

What you are describing are two separate things. You can certainly have
Word
look for custom styles when building the TOC. Any style in the document
can
be specified (you can even specify built-in headings, to override their
default TOC levels).

However, you cannot add a *TOC level*; these are limitied to nine. What
you
can do is change the formatting of the built-in TOC 1--TOC 9 styles (these
determine the formatting of TOC entries).

You can add a style to the be included in the TOC via the Table of
Contents
dialog box. In the dialog box, click the Options button, and type a level
for
the style to be included (in the "Available styles" list); see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm.

For an existing TOC, just modify the TOC field code to include the \t
switch
(see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm).

You can modify the TOC styles via the Table of Contents dialog box. Click
the Modify button. For details, see

Would there be a way to use the custom styles to control the appears of
