Extraneous tabs in Table Of Content styles
Help! I have a Table of Contents (TOC) in my document that upon every
update reinserts an extraneous tab stop that I have to delete (CTRL-Q works). I am using Word 2003, SP-3. The stop shows up about 1.1 inches from the left, coincidentally the same spot the TOC 3 style has the first tab (correctly placed). Problem is one line is so short that this extraneous tab catches the page number rather than the intended tab stop that's aligned with the right margin. I have looked at the TOC 1 style and it does not show the tab, and I have looked where one creates the TOC and can modify the TOC 1-9 styles, and verified the TAB stop is NOT there either. WHERE is this tab coming from and why does it keep reappearing? I read the MVPS document about "Jason Tabs" but it did not change anything. Note I am not using header styles but TOC entry fields. |

Extraneous tabs in Table Of Content styles
Hi Roscoe,
If you look in the Modify Style dialog box, on which style is TOC1 based? Check the definition for that style, perhaps it contains the tab stop. Help!

Extraneous tabs in Table Of Content styles
TOC 1 based on Normal, and no it doesn't have the stop either.
Remember, CTRL-Q restores a style back to it's definded settings (removing any customizations) and it works, so Word thinks that the extra tab was added. There are lots of messages about this, but none of the recommended fixes I found have worked.
