You can create a TOC that uses TOC 9 for Heading 1. In the TOC options, this
is a matter of typing 9 (rather than 1) beside Heading 1. You then need to
format TOC 9 as required. See also

Thanks Robert.
When I first read of the "\t" switch, I too thought it would do what you
described (and my experiments failed to verify this). Further reading
leads
me to believe that it works in the reverse direction; that is, the named
style, when a TOC is built from styles, is used to indicate a level 1 TOC
entry, not that a level 1 TOC entry is formatted with that style.
Please correct me if you're really sure I've got it wrong way round, and
I'll have another go at it.
Thanks.

Hello Chip

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.
If you do that via Tools | Templates and Add-ins: While this is pretty
drastic, I would imagine that many longdocument-supporters will envy
you! :-)
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.
If it helps: you can build a TOC that uses, say, TOC 9 instead of TOC 1
for level-1 entries, yes. Observe the TOC switches (IIRC is that "\t").
