And if you're using a TOC field to generate the TOC, you'll get the
right-aligned tab with period leader as the default.

Are you using periods to get the lines of periods or are use setting the
tab leader? With the tab leader, at most, the line of periods would be
counted as one word, however a simple test that I just performed indicates
that the lines of peiods that result from setting the tab leader do not
get included in the word count.

Is there a way to have Word NOT count periods? For example, I have a
table of
contents that must have dots between the heading and the page number.
Word
counts the line of periods for each heading as a word. I have only so
many
words to use on these briefs so each one counted against me hurts!!
Thanks!

Where is it in MS Word 2007?
