Text Formatting ⇒ Help with \tableofcontents and \listoffigures heading format

[bhosp]

I need to change the format of the headings created by \tableofcontents ("Contents") and \listoffigures ("List of Figures") to be centered, bold-face, normal-size text. I also want to remove the leading vspace these macros create (between the heading and the top margin). How do I do this?

(Please help! My university library won't accept my dissertation if I can't make it conform to their style guide! )
