Can anyone tell me how to place a dotted line between the subject and
the page number in the table of contents?
Suzanne S. Barnhill - 14 Nov 2005 16:58 GMT
If you generate an automatic TOC using Insert | Reference | Index and Tables
| Table of Contents, this is the default. If you are creating a TOC
manually, apply a period leader to your right tab stop; see

It's a tab with a dot leader.

But Word will do it automatically if you auto-generate the TOC, see here on
that;

Or see here re tabs:

I am still having a problem.  When I highlight the text I want and then
try to insert a TOC I get this error message....Error! No table of
contents entries found.  Any help?

You should not be selecting any text when you insert a TOC. Does your text
include TC fields or paragraphs formatted with a built-in heading style or
any style with a TOC outline level? See
