Just delete the space(s) and the period at the end of heading text, as
suggested by Doug, and then update the table of contents (F9 does the
latter).

To make the deletion easier, you can enable the display of nonprinting
characters (click the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar) to see space
characters in the text; each will display as a dot: "·".

For more about nonprinting characters, see

yes. that's the uniform issue. I tried to delete the underline in
format
text but didn't work. Should I delete the code and reinsert it?
Or, how
would you suggest I correct it? I swear, no one sees that "." but
I'm being
asked to fix it.

Wants what uniform? Are you talking about the gap in the leaders
in 1.1 and
1.3. I suspect that is caused by the headings that are being
included in
the Table of Contents have a period and a space (and maybe another
period)
after the text.

Ok, this is serious! I inherited bylaw...ugh! When the table of
contents
prints...the leaders print like this:
1.1 Title. .........1
1.2 Second title..........1
1.3 Third title. ...........1

The problem is that my author wants this uniform!
1.1 Title. .........1
1.2 Second title. ..........1
1.3 Third title. ...........1
I think she's the only one who sees that "." but I've spent too
long on
this
today and can't figure out the solution.
