If you don’t like the fonts used in the TOC, or how the heading levels are indented, you’ll need to modify the styles.
To take advantage of these settings, you’ll need to insert your own TOC. For example, you might want to show one, two or four heading levels, instead of the default three you might not want dots for the tab leader you might not want the page numbers over on the right, etc. You might not like the default TOCs that Word provides, in which case you can create your own using various settings. The safest option is Entire Table - this updates both the page numbers AND adds or removes headings to reflect the current headings used.
