Here's a question.
I was mucking around with making a custom table of contents and I
tried to make everything with a heading 1 show on up on the third
level but the results of the ToC didn't change.
Any thoughts why? I have a picture of what I did at

If Heading 1 is listed in Tools > Outline Numbering as being at Level
1, that probably takes precedence over whatever you put into the
Assign Styles dialog when creating a ToC. AFAIK, Assign Styles is
intended to allow you to specify some extra styles to go at the same
level as those specified in Outline Numbering.
For example, I use this dialog to make "Index Heading" come out at the
same level as "Heading 1" in the ToC... Heading 1 is at Level 1
already because that's where I put it in outline numbering.

When the styles from a new template are imported into an older document,
the ToC gets wiped out in the process when the ToC is first updated.
This feature is probably a transient (or sticky) bug. Chapters 6, 7, and
12 should have a (temporary) Note or Caution about this, plus a
workaround for restoring the ToC. This involves replacing the first
three (in the case of the OOoAuthors template) Paragraph Style entries
in Tools > Outline Numbering dialog box.
