How do I correct the tab leader in a table of contents
The tab leader (........) in my table of contents is missing for the last
heading in the table. The first 8 are fine (the tab leader between the heading and page number, which is right aligned), but for the last one the page number is straight after the heading (no ...... and not right aligned). It's the same format in the document as all the others headings - why is this happening and how do I correct it? |

How do I correct the tab leader in a table of contents
Check the TOC1 styles - this effect often happens if there is an additional
tab setting close to the left margin. A short heading (typically, the last one being "Index" g) will end before the tab setting and the page number tab picks up on the next tab. If the tab setting keeps coming back, you might find this article helpful: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/TOCJasonTabs.htm Another option, if you have numbered headings using tab settings, and short unnumbered headings that don't want them, is to use two different TOC levels for the different heading styles, and format the corresponding TOC styles identically save for the tab setting. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "cymraes 1969" cymraes wrote in message ...
