uncheck style in TOC, Word crashes, WINWORD.exe has generated errors

Hi,

I hope that someone can help. I'm running Microsoft Office Word 2003
11.5604.5606 on Windows 2000.

When I uncheck one of my styles in the Table of Contents dialog box,
and run the Table of Contents generator, Word crashes.

In the Index and Tables dialog box, on the TOC tab, there are styles
checked to be included in the TOC. There are currently 21 styles
checked, most of which are my own custom styles. At one time, as I
was developing a new template, I checked many styles. Now I want to
uncheck most of them. Particularly I want to uncheck a style named
"L2 *Notbold", which is not a header and should not be in the TOC. If
I uncheck this style, and click Run, Word crashes with this error:

WINWORD.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You
will need to restart the program.

An error log is being created.

Questions:

How can I run the TOC and not have this style included and not have
Word crash?

Where does Word keep track of what styles are included in the TOC?

If I uncheck other styles, the TOC does run, and Word doesn't crash,
but the next time I open the Index and Tables dialog Box, all 21
styles are checked again. How can I change my selection of styles
permanently for this document? (or any others?)

In the template (ITinternal.dot) that is attached to my document,
there are only 6 styles checked. These are the styles that I would
like checked in my document (Jiga.doc). Why does my document have a
different set of styles checked?

Is there an error log? If so, where would I find it?

Thank you!

Susan

You can prevent a style from being automatically included in the TOC by
changing its outline level to Body Text (in the Format Paragraph dialog).
