I agree, especially since it is so difficult in recent versions to access
the TOC styles for modification (a problem that is exacerbated if you opt
into the hyperlinked entries, because then the only style displayed is
Hyperlink).

In the old Style dialog box you can still see all the styles applied to
text, though (each character, paragraph, table, and list style at the
insertion point has a little arrow next to it). I have assigned Alt+S to the
FormatStyle command, for easy access.

One problem I've experienced, though, is that changes in
paragraph format are *usually* propagated (in some puzzling instances, they
don't seem to "take"), but font formatting changes often are not.

I suspect that the problem with font formatting, at least in part, is caused
by the fact that it is so difficult to select a single paragraph in the TOC
field (usually, I end up selecting the entire field instead).

This is the only case where "Automatically update" is really useful, in my
opinion.

And note that the TOC styles are set to "Automatically update" by
default.

Hi,

Probably the simplest way to do this is to set the TOC styles to
'Automatically Update', make the ruler visible, then select the TOC
level
that you want to change and drag the tabs to where you want them.

Cheers
