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.

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.
