TOC - and the leading dots ........... are part of the Tab definition

i found you can define the tab stops for the table of contents - but it
seems to remove the leading .................'s - anyway to reinstate
those?

I want to fit a table of contents into the column of a table

The TOC has:

Heading........................................... .................................................. .................................................. .........................................Page
no

I would like to reduce the leading dots to fit the column but still incl
page numbers:

Heading........................................... .................................................. ...........Page
no


I find I can reduce the width after inserting the TOC by formattabs

but each time i refresh the TOC it resizes the leader

Any ideas????

Just thought - if i define a style with reduced tab widths and use this
style in the TOC??

who knows?
