    Sounds like you have Word 2002 or above. This can be very frustrating. In
    versions before 2002, you can select Format | Style, then select the
    appropriate style from "All styles." In Word 2002 and 2003, "All Styles"
    doesn't really display *all* styles; for the way to handle this, see
    http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/sfpane/StylesAndFormattingPane.html. One way
    to get to the TOC styles in any version of Word is through the Modify...
    button in the TOC dialog.

    None of this should be necessary, however, since by default all the TOC
    styles are set to update automatically, so any change you make to any TOC
    entry at a given level will be applied to the style and propagated to all
    the other entries.
