I'm definitely stumped here, as I can't see how removing a frame would have
the result you describe; removing a frame should leave the text as plain
inline text. But I gather that you do want the TOC to be in a frame? Have
you checked the TOC 2 style to make sure the tab setting is correct (falls
within the frame and has a period leader)? You should be able to right-click
in a TOC 2 entry, choose Format Style, and then (if Hyperlink is selected
instead of TOC 2), choose TOC 2, Modify, Format: Tabs.

Sorry, didn't work. In fact it got worse, the whole TOC became one frame
that
overlay header and footer. I went back to previous and added .....
manually.
I am going to insert reference tables TOC, then using template, going to
modify, going through font, paragraph, tabs, language, etc. and inputting
what I want. It did work on some documents, but now I am getting no ....
on
Header 2 (get them on 1, 3,4, 5). On "frames" the default is text wrapping
around, width and height auto, horizontal position left relative to
column,
distance from text 0, vertical position 0, relative to paragraph, distance
from text 0, move with text checked. I tried to change to "remove frame"
and
that's when I got the frame around the entire table overrunning
header/footer. I can't for the life of me figure out why every level but
header 2 gets ....!

Unless you were originally creating a "TOC in a frame," I'm not sure why
you
would have a frame or border of any kind. I assume you're not just
talking
about the field shading. If it is really a frame or border, Ctrl+Q
should
remove it; this might well restore your leader dots as well.

I am still having two more problems. Grrr!
First, the ...... that I want between Title and page number. It
appears
with
Header 1, 3, 4, 5 but not with Header 2. I have been over and over my
formatting and can't see any difference.
Second, I don't want "frames" but when I checked no frames I got one
around
the entire table.
Suggestions?

There are different "styles" (formats) of TOC selectable from the
Insert

Reference | Index and Tables dialog. If you want something beyond
the
plain
vanilla TOC (which you clearly don't), you can choose from among
Classic,
Distinctive, Fancy, Modern, etc. The "From template" selection is
the
one
that uses the TOC styles you have defined (if you have modified the
TOC
styles).

Suzanne, that worked perfectly! As usual, when I have a problem
it's
because
there was one small thing I did not know. In this case, I had
thought
that
the TOC levels were different styles of TOC rather than different
levels
in
one table. I set everything as I wanted and added to template and
it
worked
and I feel like going dancing!

The format you describe is the default for the TOC styles (in
every
particular), but they do pick up any font formatting that has
been
applied
to directly to the associated headings, so be sure that any font
formatting
is defined in the heading style. For more, see

I am working with some long documents. They are very carefully
formatted
(I
spent hours on this) but I cannot get TOC to format as I want
it
to.
The
TOC's vary from document to document, but no matter what TOC
number,
options
or modifications I select I can't get them to change in a
given
document.
The
documents have headers at various levels (1 - 5), all of which
I
want
in
the
TOC. This is what I want: Times New Roman, no bold, italics,
caps,
small
caps, just follow capitalization as it appears in the
document. I
want
dots
(...) from the title to the page number. Page numbers should
be
aligned on
the right and should be hyperlinked. Headers should indent
slightly
from
one
level to the next. Sounds simple but I have spent literally
hours
inserting
TOC's over and over.
Here is an illustration of what I want (obviously it's not
hyperlinked
but
you will get the idea) on all documents:
Header One
.................................................. ...........................
..
..
..
.................1
Another Header One
.................................................. ...........................
..
..
..
.....2
Header
Two............................................... ..........................
...................2
This is the Header
Two............................................... ..........................
...3
Header Three
.................................................. ...........................
..
..
..
..........3
Header
Four.............................................. ..........................
..............4
Header
Five.............................................. ..........................
...........4
And Another Header
One............................................... ..........................
...5
