Maybe I misunderstood your question. You can certainly set the same options
as in Word 2003, but, as Dawn pointed out in her message, (some of) the
steps are a bit different in Word 2007.
To display the equivalent of the old Index and Tables dialog box (for TOC
creation), click the References tab | Table of Contents | Insert Table of
Contents. As in previous versions, the dialog box has an Options button and
a Modify button.
To specify how to build the TOC (from styles, TC fields, and/or TOC levels),
click the Options button; this displays the Table of Contents Options dialog
box.
To change the TOC styles, click the Modify button. After you have selected a
TOC style, click Modify. You'll see the Modify Style dialog box. Note that
in order to add a modified style to the attached template, click the "New
documents based on this template" option (which replaces "Add to template"
of Word 97-2003).

Stefan - thank you for the links and answers. Looks like I will have to
rebuild in Word 2007 and that it does not have a feature that was
available
in Word 2003.
Just to clarify for others who may run into the same issue:
In Word 2003, you could have customized TOC entry styles in addition to
doing the following in the Table of Contents dialog box:
1) Set table leader and select formats (from template)
2) Click Options button and select how to build the TOC, from Styles,
Outline levels, or Table entry fields; and select TOC levels and at what
level number to show them.
3) Click Modify and select the appropriate style for the table entry.
- it was here that you could create NEW and use a style you had created
(the company has specific text styles for the TOC entries as well as for
the
document Headers, text, pictures, and so on)
- Also, you could select the entry style and click Modify, to setup
tab
leaders, fonts, and spacing among other things.
- what you did was setup Normal to have these styles; Then setup
templates
with some modifications based on Normal so that the styles would carry
through but some templates would have a few different styles
=== Thank you again for your topic breakout with links.

What you are describing are two separate things. You can certainly have
Word
look for custom styles when building the TOC. Any style in the document
can
be specified (you can even specify built-in headings, to override their
default TOC levels).
However, you cannot add a *TOC level*; these are limitied to nine. What
you
can do is change the formatting of the built-in TOC 1--TOC 9 styles
(these
determine the formatting of TOC entries).
You can add a style to the be included in the TOC via the Table of
Contents
dialog box. In the dialog box, click the Options button, and type a
level
for
the style to be included (in the "Available styles" list); see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm.
For an existing TOC, just modify the TOC field code to include the \t
switch
(see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm).
You can modify the TOC styles via the Table of Contents dialog box.
Click
the Modify button. For details, see
