Automatic Outline Level

I am working with a master document in which the TOC is in the master
document's second page. At the top I have it labeled as "Table of Contents"
with size at 16 and centered. I've tried manual formatting and making a
style for it. The problem I am having is that each time I open the document,
"Table of Contents" changes to an outline level 1. So when I update the TOC
at printing, "Table of Contents........i" is included in the TOC. There must
be a way to disable this auto format???

Thanks!!!

Create a style, say TOCTitle, which is based on the Heading 1 style BUT the
Outline Level in the Paragraph dialog is set to BodyText. So you get the look
but not the TOC entry.
Hope this works for you.

Well that's what I tried.....however each time I saved and reopened the
document, certain text - appeared to be one line "heading looking" text -
would be given a heading number. I ended up manually changing it to a level
9 so it wouldn't appear in the TOC, but there must be a better way....

Thanks!!!

Make sure you don't have "Define styles based on your formatting" checked on
the AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools | AutoCorrect Options.

It is unchecked......BTW, not that it matters, but I forgot to mention that
this is Word 2003.

THanks!!!

Lets go back to basics. Under Insert, Reference, Index and Tables, Table of
Contents tab, Options, ensure that the new style does not have a TOC Level.
Replace Table and cross-fingers the Title should not be in the TOC.
Hope this helps

It sure doesn't show up there either. The reason I notice it happening most
of the time is that I really use the document map a lot. Sometimes these
will show up there....such as a person's name in a letter, basically the
short one line paragraphs. Sometimes when I change the outline level back to
"body text" they will stay out, other times not. The style of these always
show up as they should and have an outline level set at "body text", but
still somehow have an outline level in the document map or the outline view.

Thanks for your time!!

How about attacking this from the other direction.
For this title only, apply your normal body text style initially. Then
create a new style based on this (with a new name that has not been used
before), modify this new style to the format you want. Maybe then delete the
old Title style you had.
Cross-fingers it will start behaving.
