Index page nos. exceeding margin
On certain index entries, I have multiple pages referenced (yes, they're all
essential mentions of the indexed topic). If the index entry itself is long enough, the entry + multiple pages pushes the page nos. out past the right margin or column margin. The style Paragraph setting of Indentation right controls the index topic itself, so for example you can it to begin word wrapping .5" before the right margin. But is there something -- a formatting option, a field, or some other feature -- to control how many page number entries can appear on a single line? (The same problem occurs in a table of authorities, too, though not in a table of contents since that shows just the first page of the topic.) There is, of course, the very ugly manual workaround of forcing a line break and then direct-formatting the new line not to have the leader dots. Does anyone know an automatic (but preferably non-VBA) override? Many thanks for any suggestions. -- Sarah Ross |

Index page nos. exceeding margin
They should wrap automatically. Check to make sure that there is no negative
right indent and that the tab stop (if you're using a tab) is set correctly. -- Suzanne S.

Index page nos. exceeding margin
Thanks, Suzanne. Yes, there is no negative right indent (it's set to +0.5")
and the tab stop matches the right margin. Any other suggestions? Thanks. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: They should wrap automatically.
