1. In the Levels list, select the desired outline level by clicking it.
2. In the Paragraph Styles list, click the paragraph style to apply.
3. Click the < button to apply the selected paragraph style to the selected outline level.

The styles of the level appears in the square brackets in the Levels list.

To view or edit the attributes of a paragraph style, click the style in the Paragraph Styles list and then click the Edit button.
Note: Changes to a paragraph style will affect any text in the document that is formatted using this style, not just the format of the table of contents.

Using the Columns tab

Multiple columns are more commonly used for alphabetic indexes than for tables of contents. For instructions on how to change the number of columns for a table of contents, see Customizing the appearance of an index.
