I am writing a long document (some 30 pages) and I happen to use the
Table of Contents feature through the use of styles. This works fine.

However, when I happen to format some lines using a format (for
exemple, centered + bold) that is very similar to ones of the heading
styles ("Heading 1", for example), Word changes the style
automatically to "Heading 1", and I want to avoid it.

Could anybody help by saying what option exactly I have to switch off?

Your help is highly appreciated.

This is very odd. Word will sometimes change the definition of a style
based on what you are doing in the document, but I have never heard of
it changing a paragraph from one style to another as you describe. Can
you give more details?

It depends on which version of Word you're using - always good to specify:-)

In 2007: In Word Options Proofing click the AutoCorrect Options button,

Prior versions: Use Tools AutoCorrect Options.

On the AutoFormat As You Type page clear the checkbox for:

Built-In Heading Styles.
