Default Table of contents picking up body text

Inspect the TOC field and make sure that Body Text has not been given an
outline level in the field code.

My friend created a document in Word 2003 with a table of contents after

her
title page that keeps picking up body text. I've looked everywhere in her
paragraphs that appear in the TOC for formatting issues, but they all show
body text as their heading style. Her TOC settings are only set to pick up
Heading 1, 2 and 3. She has formatting that changes every few paragraphs
(headings, body text, quotes, long quotes, etc.), so I can't change the
entire document and then reformat the headings because it would create

more
work than it saves. Any idea what's going on? I feel like I've looked
everywhere for this problem.

Also, the option to only update the page numbers doesn't appear until

after
I've done the first update of the entire field. Any ideas why? The TOC

looks
all nice and pretty now, because she keeps sending it to me and I would

fix
it in Word 2000 with the "update page numbers only", but I'd like to fix

this
for her once and for all.
Thanks in advance,
