Microsoft Word formats the entries in a table of contents (TOC) with a set of standard styles named TOC 1, TOC 2, TOC 3, and so on. If you don't like any of the predefined formats listed in the Formats list in the Index and Tables dialog box, choose From Template from the Formats list and click the Modify button. A special version of the Style dialog box appears, which shows only the standard TOC styles. You can then change the appearance of your table by modifying the various TOC styles.
