TOC number misalligned
Hi All,
I have a Word document (2000, XP and 2003) that is misalligning the page numbers in the TOC (table of contents) when 'update entire table' is selected. Has anyone come across this issue. I've tried everything I could think of but after updating TOC it reverts back to being misalligned. Thanks for any help/advice.

TOC number misalligned
You don't say *how* the page numbers are misaligned, but it's likely that
some tab position has been redefined in the TOC style. If the entries are numbered, it could be that the number is exceeding the space allotted for it so that it overruns the tab stop. Or the tab stop at the right margin may have been moved. It could also be a "Jason tab" issue; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TOCJasonTabs.htm -- Suzanne S.

TOC number misalligned
Suzanne,
Sorry for the lack of detail. I've attached the TOC the way it looks on my document. It's only for Heading 1.1 and 2.1. All the others are alligned perfectly. 1.0 “HEADING 1” STYLE..................................4 1.1 “Heading 2” Style..................................4 1.1.1 “Heading 3” Style......................4 2.0 HEADING 1................................................. .4 2.1 Heading 2................................................4 2.1.1 Heading 3..................................4 APPENDIX A................................................. ..........5 Suzanne S.

Presumably you need to change the tab stop setting for TOC 2 to be the same
as for TOC 1 and TOC 3. For more on this, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm -- Suzanne S.
