TOC Entries Reversed
I did what I swore I would never do and that is copy-n-paste someone else's
work into a Word 2007 document. It's a Table of Contents. Everything seems to behave badly: the ruler counts backwards when reading from left to right; the table entry is justified on the right side of the page (but reads left to right as normal for US English) with a left-pointing tab character with the page numbers on the left side of the page. I've deleted the entire Table of Contents and re-built it. I've investigated the TOC styles but don't know what to look for that would cause this. With the ruler counting backwards the tabs behave properly, i.e., a right-aligned tab at 6.5 inches shoud be on the left side of the page while the table entry is at 1 inch. sort of behavior. I'm building the TOC using TC entries. Any thoughts? |

TOC Entries Reversed
Seems that you may have picked up a "right-to-left" format.
Search help on this subject as there are several issues for you to deal with: removing the format, possibly removing Complex Fonts settings now activated on your system.

TOC Entries Reversed
Press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G to activate
the Immediate window. Then type the following (note that, in this message, the command will include a line break, but make sure to type it in a single line in the Immediate window): ActiveDocument.Styles(wdStyleNormal).ParagraphForm at.ReadingOrder = wdReadingOrderLtr and press Enter. If this doesn't work, try the following version instead: ActiveDocument.Content.ParagraphFormat.ReadingOrde r = wdReadingOrderLtr Of course, if you have a right-to-left language enabled activated in Office and/or Windows, you should be able to get rid of the setting via the user interface. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Dan FANCHER" wrote in message ...
