I've been trying to create a table of contents as part of an overall
template--I found a template guide on line and it seems to work pretty
well...I've been trying to go through it step by step, but have gotten
some directions wrong and then I'm using 2003, the guide was written
for 2000.

My problem: I tried to create a TOC just as placeholder to see how it
works. The TOC picks up my "Title" and "subtitle" styles--and uses
them for the TOC, which I don't want to do. (I created these styles
only for the cover page.) Word also sort of incorporates my Headings 1,
2, and 3, but not like I want it to.

I tried going to the TOC options dialogue box--where it did show that
the TOC would be picking up my Title styles. I unclicked those boxes,
but Word still reverts to the first choice...picking up the titles.
It's like I haven't done anything.

I'm assuming this has something to do with setting something up as a
template.

Please do not multipost.

I thought if you have multiple questions you should multipost. I didn't
realize it wasn't okay.

By multiposting we mean posting the same message to more than one newsgroup.
The correct way to do this is to cross-post, by putting more than one NG
name in the header of a single post. In your case, I believe you posted the
same question to this NG three times.
