If the TOC 1 style has been modified, it should not be overwritten unless
"Automatically update document styles" is checked for the template in Tools
| Templates and Add-ins.

We have an application, with a template, which needs to cause an automatic
update of styles within documents made from it, each time one is opened.
We've found how to do this, and that part is working ok, and it allows us
to
add new styles, or fix problems with existing ones, and have that happen
automatically for our users.

What we've encountered is one particular user who needs a different
formatting other than what TOC 1 gives her. If she modifies it in her
document, then it's overwritten the next time she opens it.

We'd like to know is it possible to create a TOC which would use something
other than TOC 1 as the style for formatting the contents of the TOC? I
don't mean with direct formatting, as that seems to be lost whenever she
updates the TOC field.

I have a VBA way around this, but I'd like to know just for my own sake
and
future uses.

Thanks for any suggestions.
