Table of Figures, tabs and hidden text
I have a very long document (now 280+ pages) that has a long TOC, a long ToF
and a long ToT. When I set up the Table of Figures, I can't seem to get that crucial tab between the Figure Number and the Figure Title to appear automatically. [In my captions, I have a text wrapping break that separates the Figure No. from the Figure Title underneath it.] In short documents I insert the tab manually on each line of the Table of Figures, but there has to be an easier way. I tried using the hidden text feature to insert a tab both after the Figure No. in the caption, as well as before the Figure Title in the Cpation: * If it is placed between No. and break and hidden, it has no effect on Table of Figures * If it is placed between No. and break and revealed, also has no effect and looks crap. * If it is placed before the Title on second line and hidden, it has no effect on Table of Figures. * If it is placed before the title and NOT hidden, it fixes the Table of Figures but makes the caption look awful (non centered text) Any advice? We have some fairly strict Style Guidelines here to follow so I can't get rid of the text wrapping break, can't put the number and title on the same line, etc. This is driving me nuts! |

Table of Figures, tabs and hidden text
I think you need to add a \w switch to your TOC field code.

Table of Figures, tabs and hidden text
But note that each tab character will then be reflected in the TOC entries,
so make sure that there is an appropriate tab stop for each of them; in particular, don't forget to define a right-aligned tab stop for the page number at the right margin. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.
