Default Customizing Table of Contents

Hi, just thought I'd give som information regarding the fact that I couldn't
add an inline horizontal border to the tables I had. The reason is that if
you have a table which contains only one row, the option to add an inline
border is not available. Mekes sense though, but I CAN add it anyway by
updating the style to match selection if I manually insert an inline border
after I've inserted another row. And then delete the row. That way, the
setting of the inline border is still there, even though there isn't any
second row.

Yes, you've found your problem. You do need the "tab after" in the numbering
scheme so you can right align the numbers on the TOC.

If you choose to change the numbering scheme to add the tab after, then you
can modify each of your TOC styles by setting a right tab far enough right to
accommodate all the heading numbers and then a left tab at least .1" beyond
the right tab. Insert a tab at the beginning of TOC line to right align the
numbers.

For the borders, you can place each TOC entry in a table with borders above
and below. You can adjust the space between the tables by changing the point
size of the returns between them. Note, though, that the tabs, tables, and
returns in the TOC text are manual formatting that have to be redone whenever
the TOC is regenerated.

HTH,
Pam

Or you don't understand my problem issue.
The tab stops doesn't seem to do anything to the chapter numbers, only to
the page numbers. Perhaps it's got something to do with the fact that I've
set the Heading styles to use Spaces after the chapter number instead of the
default Tab button? The reason I did this is because there seemed to be a bug
when using the Tab button, since I had the exact same settings for each
Heading style, but still the space between the chapter number and the Heading
itself seemed to vary. When using spaces instead, everything worked out fine.

So by default, if I want the chapter numbers of the Table of Contents to be
aligned mirrored, I have to use Tab Stops? In that case, what does the
indentation do?

As for any style, the details of the tab settings are found in Modify
Format Tabs. Each tab on the ruler has its own line on that panel;

[quoted text clipped - 56 lines]

Any light on this?
