Default Turn off automatic TOC formatting

I have a table of contents that needs formatted but it changes to the default
after every update. Is there a way to preserve formatting even after an
update?

If you really mean just formatting (the stuff you do in the Format Font
and Format Paragraph dialogs), then you need to modify the styles named
TOC1, TOC2, etc. In the Format Styles dialog, select a style, click
Modify, click Format and select the type of formatting to change. Repeat for
each TOC level you use. Do not apply any direct (non-style) formatting to
the TOC, because that *will* disappear during each update.

If you're editing the wording of the items, there's no way to preserve that
through an update.
