OK. F9 is the command to update the fields in the selection.

As I wrote in a previous reply, when you update the TOC field, any
manual changes applied to it will be lost. The fix is to remove any
direct formatting applied to headings (modify the heading styles
instead); then the formatting of TOC entries will be determined by the
TOC 1, TOC 2, etc. styles.

taking a look at the file.

Your observation is correct: Alt+F9 doesn't change anything; it just
displays the underlying field codes for all fields (tables of contents,

tables of figures, cross-references, hyperlinks, etc.)

To correct what I've just posted: Alt+F9 does not change anything, but
just F9 does, and in some of my posts I might have confused the two. In
any case, the F9 command always reformats my TOC (the type changes to
Times Roman and some levels disappear entirely) so that using it
requires undoing the updating immediately.
