Show/Hide button does not actually show the Fields, Shift+F9 will toggle the view of fields, or under Tools, Options, View check the Field Codes box (for 2003 and prior, 2007 under Word options I believe). From your description, the Appendix headings in the TOC have different formatting from the other TOC items, this is usually because the Heading in the document has manually formatting applied, for example Bold which is not part of the style used. Go to the heading in the document, select the entire heading then press Ctrl+Spacebar (or Ctrl+Z) to return to the formatting settings of the style assigned. So long as the Appendix headings style is the same as the Heading style, and the TOC styles are the same, then your TOC will look better once refreshed.
