TOC entries will pick up *direct* font formatting of headings. Make sure
that any bold headings have bold as part of the heading style (perhaps this is what you meant when you said "even though i have changed the style"). You can then format the TOC styles independently of the heading styles. For a start, select the whole TOC and press Ctrl+Spacebar to see if that makes a difference. -- Suzanne S.

The way to make your changes permanent is to modify the paragraph
style definitions of headings and toc entries to suit your needs.

Since all TOC styles are set to update automatically, it should suffice to
change the formatting of a single entry. I find this doesn't work as dependably for font formatting as for paragraph formatting, though. I don't know why this is. -- Suzanne S.

Personally, I want to be in control so I don't rely on update
automatically that much; I make all changes via the Modify Style dialog box instead. Of course, there are certainly times when update automatically comes in handy. But I have to wonder: For inexperienced users, don't this feature (along with several others) cause confusion rather than make Word easy to use? -- Stefan Blom "Suzanne S.

TOC styles are among the very few where I don't much mind auto updating
(especially because it's so difficult to modify by example in TOC styles). -- Suzanne S.
