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.

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

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?

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. Does that fix things?
