[Dana R.[_2_]]

Between this post from you and the last post from you, I fixed the problem.
I had incorrectly added all of the tab stops that I needed for the entire
document into the Table of figures under References. Based on your
suggestion, I went into these settings and deleted all but the right
justified one and voila, it worked. Thank you for allof your help. This is
the only place that I know of to find help on microsoft 2007, though this
problem was not limited by the software but the user. Thank you so much.

Okay, so we're dealing with a hanging indent (and I wasn't thinking clearly,
either). By default, Word sets a tab stop at the hanging indent position.
This can be an issue in a short first line but shouldn't be on the second.
If the problem isn't solved by selecting the text and pressing Ctrl+Q, then
I would guess the problem is another tab stop to the right of the short bits
of text (but left of the one where the page number belongs). This isn't a
problem with long titles but will be with short ones (or short runover
pieces of ones). The ruler should show you whether there are any extraneous
tab stops.

I want to rephrase my response. The captions are long and lap over onto a
second line. There is a first line, then an indent on second line
followed
by maybe 1-2 words of caption, then a single tab symbol (right arrow),
then
the page
number, but no line of periods (leader?). I hope this is more articulate.

Yes, sort of, they are long captions which run from previous line, I have
a
first line indent and a single tab symbol (right arrow), then the page
number, but no line of peiods (leader?) I appreciate your swift response.

Are the items with no leader very short ones?

news I read post "page No.s for TOC level-1 won't align..." and it was
helpful,
but not quite. I have inconsistent leaders in List of figures when I
insert
Table of figures. Set Leader tab as needed for margin, but out of 9
items
(tables) listed I have three that have no leader, just as Lisa H
described.
I have repeatedly reset the tabs and checked right margin tab but
cannot
get
software to give me leaders on all items in list. Please help.
