I'm using Word 2002 and I'm creating a table of contents from heading styles
and using a dot leader that goes over to the page numbers. My problem is
that I don't want the dot leaders to go right up to the page numbers.
Instead, I want them to stop about a half inch from the page number. An
example would be that I set a dot leader tab at 6.0 for the leaders to stop
and a right align tab at 6.5 for the page number. This requires you to tab
once for the dot leader and then again to get to the page number tab and
type in the page number. This works fine if you were to type the ToC
manually, however, if you Update the ToC it doesn't work. Instead, the page
numbers slide back and line up to the dot leader tab. It's as though it can
only use one tab after the ToC entry and not two.

Does anyone know how I can get this to work. Your help will be greatly
appreciated. Thank you.

Unfortunately, there is probably no way around what you are experiencing as
long as you continue to update the TOC. Once editing is complete and you are
sure the page numbers will not change, add the tab characters back and then
lock (Ctrl+F11) or unlink (Ctrl+Shift+F9) the TOC field so it won't/can't
update.

One thing you might try (how well it will work depends on how your headings
are formatted): Add a tab character to the end of each heading in the
document. Then add a \w switch to the TOC field, which will preserve the tab
characters instead of converting them to spaces. Try this with one or two
headings to see how it works before you go to the trouble of adding it to
all.

Suzanne, thanks for getting back to me so fast. I tried your

guess we will have to make the changes manually, or overlook the messy
format.

Thank you for your help.

Just out of curiosity, I'd like to know what version you were testing?
Because I just tried this in Word 2000, and a tab *after* a heading
won't be reflected in the TOC, even with the \w switch, unless more
text follows after that tab, in which case it is preserved:

Heading 1 paragraph:

My heading texttabMore text

In the TOC:

My heading text......... 1

(assuming of course that you set two tab stops in the TOC 1 style,
and that the first tab stop has a leader but the one at the right
margin doesn't).

I was most likely testing in Word 97. Obviously my testing was not very

find out what sort of text (white, Hidden, a space?) would suffice to make a
tab at the end of a heading work because there is obviously a lot of demand
for this type of formatting.

I'm using Word 2002 and I'm creating a table of
contents
from
heading
styles
and using a dot leader that goes over to the page
numbers.
My
problem
is
that I don't want the dot leaders to go right up to
the
page
numbers.
Instead, I want them to stop about a half inch from
the
page
number.
An
example would be that I set a dot leader tab at 6.0
for
the
leaders to
stop
and a right align tab at 6.5 for the page number.
This
requires you
to
tab
once for the dot leader and then again to get to the
page
number tab
and
type in the page number. This works fine if you were
to
type
the ToC
manually, however, if you Update the ToC it doesn't
work.
Instead,
the
page
numbers slide back and line up to the dot leader tab.
It's as
though
it
can
only use one tab after the ToC entry and not two.

Does anyone know how I can get this to work. Your
help
will
be
greatly
appreciated. Thank you.
