page numbers line up in TOC
ToC are styles, so Heading 1 uses TOC 1 style, Heading 2 TOC 2 style and so
on. You need to check the formatting of the style, particular the right-aligned tab stop which should all be the same. An easy solution is to select an instance of a particular misaligned TOC (say just a level 3 TOC), and drag the tab marker in the ruler to align with the others. Then whilst still with the TOC 3 selected, right-click TOC 3 in the style list on the Home ribbon and choose 'Update TOC 3 to match selection' from the context menu. Now all the TOC 3s will realign. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Jesse" wrote in message ... I'm using Office Word 2003 sp3.

page numbers line up in TOC
Since TOC styles are set to update automatically, it will suffice to change
the tab stop in a single entry at any given level. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ...

That's true but I always turn the Automatic Update off: I'm a control freak!

page numbers line up in TOC
TOC styles are one case where I leave it enabled. One thing I've noticed,
though, is that paragraph formatting is propagated, but changes in font formatting don't seem to be picked up, so for that I do have to go to Modify Style. -- Suzanne S.
