Hi EdK,
We would expect local formatting applied to a TOC to disappear if the TOC is regenerated. Changes to TOC formatting should be made by modifying the styles the TOC uses.

Yes, I got it to work, great!
Having seen the advice of @walt.farrell and the response by @Old Bruce I went looking for the Fields panel.
The search was on.
To the Help facility and search for Fields.
So, with information from there, I had to do View Studio and then there was a panel.
So I filled in all six fields and four of them went through to the PDF as displayed in Document Properties in Adobe Reader, so good.
The Document Propertes panel shows four fields and each was filled by information that I had input, and indeed that is more than PagePlus does.
Three of the fields, Title, Author, Subject have the same names in the Document Properties in Adobe Reader as they do in the Fields panel of Affinity Publisher.
The field Keywords in the Document Properties in Adobe Reader has the information that is in Tags in the Fields panel of Affinity Publisher.
However, as far as I can tell at present, information in the Comments field and the Revision field in the Fields panel of Affinity Publisher do not go through to the PDF in a way observable using Adobe Reader, though whether or not they are actually in the document I do not know.
So, the facility of adding author details into a PDF is there.
It seems unfortunate that it is hidden away like that, but then again I have moaned at times at the way when I have started up some programs there are panels all over it and it is hard to know how to get started, for example a Java program environment that I got on a magazine cover disc years ago and when I started it up there seemed to be little panels all over the screen.
However, in fairness, now thinking about it and searching for Author in the Help section of Affinity Publisher does refer to the Fields panel. Also I have not read through the documentation and maybe it is explained there.
So maybe there needs to be, and maybe already is, a guide for an Author-Publisher who wants to publish his or her own writing on the web in PDF form where such things are explained.

I think the name needs to have some pep, some movement, some je ne sais quoi!  How about Affinity Enpagerizer.   It's 98% faster at enpagerizing than the competition.  No enpagerizer is like it on the market. It not only enpagerizes, but it slices and dices and makes mounds and mounds of Julienne fries!  Act now and you will receive a free sham-wow towel to go with your purchase.  Not sold in stores.

Hi,
We are pleased to announce Affinity Publisher build 270 is now available as a manual download from the link above and on auto-update.
As this is a beta it is considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity where you may be adversely affected by the application failing, including the total loss of any documents. 
We hope you enjoy the product, and as always, if you've got any problems installing or running up, please don't hesitate to post in this thread.
Any problems actually using this version please make a new topic in this forum and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Please feel free to leave general suggestions and comments in the Discussion Forum. 
Many thanks for your continued feedback.
