Hello,
For some reason 1 entry in my Table of Contents looks different to all the other entries that have the same TOC 2 style applied to them. The part of the Table of Contents I am having trouble with looks like this: POLICIES BEHIND THE PLAN.............. 8 PURPOSE OF THE PLAN........................ 8 OBJECTIVES OF THE PLAN.................. 8 COMPLIANCE AND DEVIATIONS....... 8 ADMINISTRATION................................ 8 TENDER 8 The last line, "Tender 8" is the problem line. I cannot make it add the "....." across to the page number; I also cannot make the page number align with the right side of the page (as the lines above do). This whole section has TOC 2 Style applied to it. I have checked the Heading the TOC line is referring to; I have checked the Style; I have deleted and recreated the Table of Contents but still no luck. I am using Word 2003 SP3. Windows XP SP3. What would cause 1 line to behave differently to the Table of Contents lines above it? Thanks, treaders |

Does the style have a very large hanging indent? If so, the automatic tab
stop at the hanging indent may be catching the page number because the TOC entry is very short. -- Suzanne S.

I extended the length of the TOC entry and this fixed the problem. So, you're
definitely on the right track, thank you. However, I would prefer to use the shorter TOC entry, "Tender". How should I fix the problem? Should I decrease the hanging indent size, adjust the tab stop or something along these lines? Thanks, treaders "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Does the style have a very large hanging indent?

Fixed. I removed the first tab stop and the issue is gone.
