justify table of contents
I'm creating a document in Word that is similar to a table of contents, but
is not something that I could use the TOC formatting for. It has items listed -- some indented and some not, -- then there are dots over to a number (like a page number) at the right margin. I can't for the life of me get the numbers at the right margin to line up evenly. Justifying the text -- and leaving some spaces between the text and the beginning of the dots -- doesn't seem to work. Any help would be appreciated. |

You need a right-aligned tab stop at the right margin for the number. You
can add tab stops by clicking the horizontal ruler. To choose the type of tab stop to add, click the tab selector to the left of the ruler. Also, note that Word uses right-aligned tab stops for the page numbers of tables of contents. If you want to see how it is set up, compare the settings in a document that has an automatic TOC. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "karuna" wrote in message ...

Note that you don't type the dots, but choose "dot leader" in the Tabs
formatting pane. On Apr 28, 4:29*am, "Stefan Blom" wrote: You need a right-aligned tab stop at the right margin for the number. You can add tab stops by clicking the horizontal ruler.

And the easiest way to open the Tabs dialog box in Word 2007 is to
double-click a tab stop on the ruler. In Word 97-2003, you can click Format | Tabs.
