I've never found Word's TOC functions easy to use, so I usually make my own
TOC manually with short entries and dotted tabs (right justified, etc.). I'm
looking for a better option on my current project- I'm not sure the best way
to do this, either with Word's functions or a different manual method (maybe
it is easy) so I welcome your help. Using Word2003 on Win 2000

I have a bulleted list, where the text for many bullets is more than one
line long. I need to turn this into a TOC, where I will have a page
reference for each bullet (they will actually be reformatted as numbered
instead of bulleted). What I want is for the text to line wrap about 2/3 the
way across the page, and have the "...........NN" with the page number right
justified. I suspect the page number would be aligned with the first row of
the text, not the last wrapped row?

So something like:

1. This is my sample text that represents a line..........................3
that is too long to stick on just one line in my
table of contents.

Right now, I'd just make three separate lines, but in this project, I may
have to do continuous edits of the text in each item, and that seems like a
lot of work to manage for such minor tweaks, so I wanted to see if I could
keep the text as one "piece" that I could edit without messing up the number
or formatting of the whole item or page. I also considered a table, but I
think it would look funny- there might be large gaps in the ".......NN"
depending on the amount and length of text, like
"2. Short item .........................4"

Thanks,
Keith
