TOC Page Numbers are Misaligned
Does anyone know what causes TOC page numbers to misalign? The page number
positions of the different heading levels (TOC1, TOC2, etc.) are all different. It appears as though the varying heading levels have different tab sets that are causing the page numbers to align differently. However, when we looked at the tab sets and related (TOC1, TOC2) styles, we could not detect any problem with the tabs. We also tried adjusting the settings under Insert Reference Index and Tables and the Right align page numbers checkbox was checked and everything else looked fine. Any ideas? |

TOC Page Numbers are Misaligned
If some of the TOC entries are very short, the problem may be with the
hanging indent (which generates an automatic tab stop). In general, however, if the right-aligned tab stops at the right margin are set the same in each of the TOC styles, look for any other tab stops that may have been set in the style. -- Suzanne S.

TOC Page Numbers are Misaligned
Thank you very much, Suzanne.
The heading was set as a third-level heading in the document, but that style (TOC 3) was not listed on the Styles and Formatting task pane! Once I added it in (by selecting Custom and checking it to make it visible), I set the tab setting and it worked fine. "Suzanne S.

I'm glad you got it sorted, but I should think you would have been able to
see the difference in tab stops on the ruler if you have it displayed. If you slide a tab on the ruler in one TOC 3 paragraph, the others should be corrected, as TOC styles are by default set to update automatically. -- Suzanne S.
