Table of Contents Problem
I'm working on a document in Word 2003. It has a table of contents generated
from headings. Each entry is supposed to have the Article number followed by the title of that Article followed by a dot leader and then the page number at the right margin. The problem is that with any entry that is smaller than about 8 characters, the dot leader doesn't show up. It looks like: Article IV Business 31 [I can see a tab formatting mark right after "Business"] whereas it should look like: Article IV Business .................................................. .................................................. .......31 Any ideas? Thanks. Ross Payne |

Table of Contents Problem
You've got a tab stop (or hanging indent) just to the right of these short
entries, so the tab for the page number is stopping there. -- Suzanne S.

Table of Contents Problem
There was a hanging indent at 1.25" in the style for TOC2. Once I took that
out of the style, the problem was fixed. I don't know how the style got changed . . . but that's beside the point. Thanks, Ross "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
