Table of Contents - tab leaders
Ok, this is serious! I inherited bylaw...ugh! When the table of contents
prints...the leaders print like this: 1.1 Title. .........1 1.2 Second title..........1 1.3 Third title. ...........1 The problem is that my author wants this uniform! 1.1 Title. .........1 1.2 Second title. ..........1 1.3 Third title. ...........1 I think she's the only one who sees that "." but I've spent too long on this today and can't figure out the solution. |

Table of Contents - tab leaders
Wants what uniform? Are you talking about the gap in the leaders in 1.1 and
1.3. I suspect that is caused by the headings that are being included in the Table of Contents have a period and a space (and maybe another period) after the text. -- Hope this helps.

yes. that's the uniform issue. I tried to delete the underline in format
text but didn't work. Should I delete the code and reinsert it? Or, how would you suggest I correct it? I swear, no one sees that "." but I'm being asked to fix it.

Table of Contents - tab leaders
I am not sure where the underline comes into this. What I suggested was
that some of the headings in the body of the document have a period then a space or maybe a period then a space then a period after them. -- Hope this helps.

Table of Contents - tab leaders
Just delete the space(s) and the period at the end of heading text, as
suggested by Doug, and then update the table of contents (F9 does the latter). To make the deletion easier, you can enable the display of nonprinting characters (click the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar) to see space characters in the text; each will display as a dot: "·". For more about nonprinting characters, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NonPrintChars.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Yaya_Austin" wrote in message ... yes. that's the uniform issue.
