leaders in table of contents
I am trying to create a new table of contents. Some of the content came from
another document, but most was typed in new. When I created or even repeat by replacing the table of contents, I do not get the leader dots. It doesn't even right justfiy the page numbers. All I get are the correct names with the correct format, but no dots and no justification. I have tried at least 5 times to replace the existing incorrect table of contents to no avail. Can someone help me? I am trying to publish this ASAP. |

Select one line only of each level of the table of contents, and format it
as desired. Or, create a table of contents field in another document, and copy the styles over to this document to overwrite these "bad" TOC styles.

Hi Paula,
Are you using a manual table of contents? Why not let Word do the work for you and create an automatic table of contents with the use of styles? Thay way it does all the work for you and gives you the dot leaders as well! "Paula P" wrote: I am trying to create a new table of contents.

What happens if you select the TOC and Ctrl+Q?

Yes. I was using the automated "insert" function in Word. It has been fixed
by using what Anne Troy suggested. Thanks. PP "Carol" wrote: Hi Paula, Are you using a manual table of contents?
