TOC style hanging indent issue
I have a weird intermittent issue with a TOC style in a document. I have two
different TOC 2 style entries in my Table of Contents that have long enough wording that they need to wrap to the next line. In one TOC 2 level entry, my heading wraps properly to the next line as the style has defined. In the other, it doesn't wrap; rather, it forces the content on the line beyond the riight margin. I have tried using the organizer to overwrite the TOC 2 style. I also created a new Heading 2 in my document that the TOC 2 style is tied to, retyping the same wording. When I updated the TOC, it continues to push the content into the margin space. I do not believe there isn't anything special about the Heading 2 wording the TOC 2 style is picking up. Any other ideas on what I might try to make this work? This is happening in W97 and W2003. |

TOC style hanging indent issue
Seems that the right margin (Tab setting) on the TOC2 style is set too far to
the right and/or the Right Indent (Paragraph setting) is not set within the parameters you want.. Modify this particular style to correct this marker's position. Editing the Heading 2 style will not affect the style. Hope this helps DeanH "cayce" wrote: I have a weird intermittent issue with a TOC style in a document.

TOC style hanging indent issue
thanks for the idea but why would one TOC 2 entry be correct with margins,
hanging indent and the other TOC 2 entry not be correct when they are both using the same style parameters?

TOC style hanging indent issue
Once you've set up the style correctly, select the whole TOC and press
Ctrl+Q (to clear any direct paragraph formatting from the entries). Finally, update the TOC with F9.
