Default Table of Contents wont hold format

Hi ?B?QmV0aEI=?=,

Hmmm. The first thing that occurs to me is that you may have the document set to
revert to formatting in the template? Look in tools/Templates and Add-ins and
see if the checkbox "Automatically update document styles" is activated?

I have a table of contents in a doc formatted landscape. I keep choosing one
of the standard formats for the table of contents like "Formal" or
"Distinctive" (It doesn't matter which one) and everytime I close the
document and reopen it it reverts back to the "From Template" format. The
problem with that is that my tabs are all over the place so my page numbers
do not line up.
Does anyone have any idea how to get this to stop and hold on to the format
I choose?
I have also tried to modify the TOC styles, but even though I select add to
template, the TOC 4 style disappears (it is the one causing the wrong tabs to
be applied).
