Table of Contents - No Tab Leader
The TOC created in my Word documents has a fault whereby short heading titles
will not automatically insert the dotted tab leader (see sample below). The headings this happens to have the following attributes within the automatically generated TOC: Level 1 headings - Font: Times New Roman, Bold, 12pt - loses tab leader at 5chars Level 2 headings - Font: Times New Roman, 11pt - loses tab leader at 7chars Long Heading1 ...............................1 ShortHd2 3 Long Heading2 ...........................4 ShortHd1 6 The current fix for this is to manually enter a tab after the short heading once the document is finalised but I am looking for a more permanent (and automated) fix. TIA |

Table of Contents - No Tab Leader
This is caused by having a tab stop in the TOC style that is to the right of
where the short heading ends. The tab character that should be going to the tab stop for the page number is therefore going only to that tab stop instead. The solution is to either remove the tab stop (if it's not needed) or add a tab character to the end of the heading in the document (practical only if it's left-aligned) and add the \x switch to the TOC field so that tab characters are preserved. If your TOC style has a hanging indent, then Word automatically places a tab stop at that position unless you change the Compatibility Option that governs this. -- Suzanne S.
