I am creating a simple Word document. Even though the document is
simple, I've found it very difficult to manage the styles. After a lot
of effort, I've been able to get the document formatted the way I
want, but I feel that I lack some critical understanding of styles
which makes the difference between skillful use and frustration. Can
someone help me with answers to these specific questions:

1) I've found that the easiest way to modify a style is to edit the
format of the text, then to use "Update to Match Selection" in the
Styles and Formatting Task Pane. However, "Update to Match Selection"
is often disabled for no apparent reason. For instance, right now I
want to change the font size for the "Normal" style from 12 point to
10 point. I can do it with "Modify", but not with "Update to Match
Selection". Why?

2) I added a table of contents to my document. The table of contents
uses the styles "Hyperlink" and "TOC 1". In the Styles and Formatting
Task Pane, I've selected "Show Formatting in use", but neither
"Hyperlink" nor "TOC 1" appears in the list. If "Show Formatting in
use" doesn't mean "show formatting in use", what does it mean?
