Thank you very much Lisa and Suzanne. It worked!! I only replaced the semi-colon with a comma.

I still have a problem with the tabbing, runover text, and keeping the runover text in place in the main Action Item (styled) and in the TOC (uses the field code with the w field switch).

So, I have

No. (tab) Action (tab) Responsibility (tab) Observations (tab) Status


Action and Observations tend to runover. To my knowledge, hanging indent works once (i.e. for one of the four tabs in my case). So, what method allows to keep runover text under Action AND under Observations in the main text? Then, how to apply this method to the TOC as well?

Cheers

maybe, the entries are separated by tabs. Item 01, item 02 are two
paragraphs formatted with the same style (e.g. one of the Headings or a
custom style).
In the TOC field you have to suppress page numbers by a switch (/n), and
you have to preserve the tabs by a switch (/w). The TOC field then should
look like this:
{ TOC \t "CustomStyle;1" \n \w }
