    When I create subheads in my document I sometimes have to add a character style to change the color of the text. I notice that when I create the TOC it pulls in and applies the character style, making it the wrong color in the TOC. I have to select the TOC and then select None for character style to clear it. I share my files with other users that might not understand or remember to do the last step. Is there a way to fix this issue?

    If all the colours in your subhead are the same, can you just style it via the text colour in your Para Style?
    That should work.

      No, the color is not the same on all. That is the problem. The majority of them are gray, so that is the color in the paragraph style. On some pages they could be white or red character style. Red to emphasis it and other locations it may be on a dark background and it needs to be white. I didn’t want to make multiple Paragraph styles that I will have to link to the TOC, so that is why I added a character style. In addition, like I said I have to show others how to use the styles and it is difficult to train them how to use multiple styles. Just not sure why the character style carries over to the TOC.

      There may not be another solution, other than hitting none for character styles after updating.
