Peter,
I suggest that you experience the aberrant behavior yourself concerning
the ToC disappearing after updating when the styles are imported from a
template. Just take any Writer doc and import styles into it from the
OOOAuthors template, for example.
At first, it seems that no harm was done. However, when you visit Tools
> Outline Numbering after the styles were imported, you should notice
that the first four or so of the Paragraph Styles are now gone. At this
point, the ToC is still OK, but as soon as you update it for the first
time, the ToC entirely disappears. The workaround, as mentioned earlier,
is to reload the four missing paragraph styles (actually only the first
three are needed for the OOOAuthors template).
So, at an appropriate location in Chapter 12, insert a Note or Caution
about this. This note/caution will also need to be reused in one or two
of the styles chapters and probably the template chapter, which I'll see
to. I'll probably reuse yours, or alternately you might use mine. In any
event, determine the best location in your Chapter 12 for its insertion
and at least install a placeholder for it..

I found that if I uncheck the outline box and the assign the styles in
a weird order it works fine. So, I added that the outline box
supersedes the custom styles checkbox.
I guess that is good.

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
<http://www.openoffice.peschtra.com/images/bad_headings.png>
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.
