Is it possible for InDesign's table of contents to use different character styles from the actual text elements used to build the table of contents?
For instance, I want my table of contents to use formatting that is different from the actual title pages and page names used in my document.
Pic related...obviously the text for the entry names is enormous and should instead look like the page numbers.
Yes, definitely. The settings for this are in the very window shown in your image and you are looking at those.
'Include Paragraph Styles' section is a list of styles from your chapters that should be pulled into the TOC.
Then, the styles referred to below are the actual styles you need to use in the formatting of the TOC, which of course can be different from the styles used on the actual pages.
