thanks. yes, i can confirm that i did not do any hand formatting.
i created the appropriate tab stops using the para designer etc. i followed the correct steps to format the TOC entries on the reference page. what i am talking about when i say lose formatting is a total loss of all changes made on the reference pages, incl changes to ChapterTitleTOC, Heading1TOC styles ( done through the para designer). the next time i generate the toc i get the images and layouts and everything else on the title page file, which precedes the TOC file in the book. i can see this because i can see a logo image there which was not present earlier. the toc entries become plain text. in short, the first time the changes made to the reference pages stick, the next time (next update of book) they disappear and take on the formats of the preceding file.
