Hi Luut

I've tested this out in Word 2000, 2002 and 2003. In Word 2000, the ToC
retains the formatting of the paragraph numbers (as if they were direct
formatting). In Word 2002 and 2003, the ToC abandons the formatting of
the numbers and uses the ToC's format.

I can't think of a way to force Word 2000 to work like 2002 and 2003, or
the other way round. (And, I seem to remember a post to these newsgroups
recently where someone wanted it the other way round. I think he had
2002 and wanted 2000's behaviour!)

Hope this helps.
