See if the "leader in toc" thread in the
microsoft.public.word.pagelayout newsgroup applies.

I'm not understanding you, Suzanne. I've got 1 inch left and right
margins,
a left aligned tab with a dotted leader set for 6.2 inches, and I
set a
right aligned tab with no leader at 6.48 inches. I then did an
update ..
entire table, but the numbers still don't line up against the right
edge. I
tried using the ruler and moved my tabs back and forth, but I still
can't
get them to dance for me.

You probably just need to reinsert the right-aligned tab stop at
the right
margin in the TOC 2 styles. When the TOC field "forgets" what it's
doing
wrt
numbering for some levels, this tab stop (which is generated
dynamically)
also gets lost. If you're using the default 1.25" left and right
margins
(does anyone ever?), the tab stop would be at 6" (though Word puts
it at
5.99"); you'll need to adjust for your actual margins--look at the
ruler
for
guidance (and that's the easiest way to set the stop, too).

Okay - after reading through some stuff on the Word FAQ site,
Shauna
Kelly's
site, and Suzanne Barnhill's site, I've got most of this
resolved. I
edited
my heading styles, reapplied the styles, and edited the field
code to
take
out numbering for Heading 1. (If anyone is just throwing out
questions
here
and not reading these articles, you are missing great wealth!)

I am currently left with only one major nagging issue (others
will crop
up,
I'm sure!): my page numbers don't align on the right side. That
is, I
would like the right edges of my one-digit numbers to match the
right
edges
of my two-digit page numbers. I have "Right Align Numbers"
checked, and
even modified the TOC style as "Justified". Nothing seems to
work,
though.
Any suggestions?

I have inherited a document with a TOC field. Every time I
choose to
update the entire field, though, it goes haywire! I hope
someone can
help.

I have two styles used - Heading 1 and Heading 2. I believe
they are
both
resident in the document, and not necessarily the same as those
styles
in
my Normal template. At the moment, Heading 1 styles are
formatted in
the
TOC as bold, underlined, and no page number. Heading 2 styles
are not
bold or underlined, and have a dotted tab leader to a
right-aligned
page
number. This is good and I want to keep it. The current field
code is
{TOC \O "1-2" \Z}.

When I try to update the entire table, the Heading 1 styles are
bold
and
underlined, but have a page number, and the underline extends
to the
number. The Heading 2 styles lose the dotted tab leader. Also,
the tab
setting is changed to stop at mid-page. I've tried changing
the TOC
style
when I update, but it keeps getting worse!

It's probably time to start from scratch! What settings am I
looking
for
when I make this?
