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
