Could someone refer me to information about how to format a table of
contents? When I select a preset format, such as Formal or Simple, 1st
line indents are imposed on headings. I don't even know how to tell
whether the indents come from the "TOC style," or from my normal template.
If I apply a style or directly apply paragraph formatting--say to hanging,
which seems like how it should be--and increase the font size so they
match my text, the numbers are too crowded. Obviously there are a bunch of
adjustments, and my guess is Styles is where they should be triggered. But
this TOC "style" seems a style like no other...

I think you are better off choosing 'From template', then clicking on the
Modify button. You can then modify the different TOC levels as required.

I agree with Mark; it's much better to use "From template" and modify the
styles yourself. The styles to modify are TOC 1, TOC 2, and so on down to
TOC 9.
