Hi,
Turns out the way to make this work
is to first define heading styles and
make a list style out of them
define/modify all paragraph and character styles you need. But do not
include formatting that has to be defined by the list style (number
style, left indent, hanging indent).
At least you create the list style, where you have to setup each level,
as Shauna Kelly described.
and then for the body paragraph
styles make new styles from scratch
Why? There are more than 120 built-in styles. Why creating new ones
instead of modifying exixting ones?
They will inherit the numbering but not get ToC entries.
When creating a TOC, you can choose by "Options" what paragraphs have
to be inserted:
