MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / April 2005Page nos. for TOC level-1 headings won't align right as requested
I click Insert->Reference->Index and Tables, click Show Page Numbers and Right align page numbers, and click Tab Leader .... My format is "From Template". Then I click OK. My Heading 2s and Heading 3s format correctly in the TOC--there are dots leading to the page number at the right-hand margin. For Heading 1, though, there is only a tab and then the page number IMMEDIATELY to the right of the heading name--no dots. What is controlling this? Thanks! Try selecting a TOC 1 entry and pressing Ctrl+Q.  SignatureSuzanne S.

The TOC 1 style may then have lost its right-margin tab, and you'll need to restore it. SignatureSuzanne S.

Nothing seems to work. One clue is that in the Index and Tables dialog, under Print Preview, Heading 1 appears as "Heading 1 1". Heading 2 appears as "Heading 2 3". Heading 3 appears as it should, as "Heading 3". The problem is probably related to the fact that I'm using outline numbering for the headings. > The TOC 1 style may then have lost its right-margin tab, and you'll need to > restore it.

Go to Format | Style (or, in Word 2002/2003, click on Styles... in the Format Settings dialog you get if you select Custom at the bottom of the Styles and Formatting task pane). 2. In the All Styles list, select TOC 1. 3. Click Modify... 4. In the Modify Style dialog, click Format. 5. On the Format menu, select Tabs. 6. Set a right-aligned tab with period leader at 6" or 6.5" or whatever measurement represents your right margin. 7. OK out. SignatureSuzanne S.

It worked! I had tried almost exactly that procedure before, but something was different...maybe I didn't right-align the tab.

FWIW, you *should* be able to accomplish exactly the same thing by setting a right tab in a TOC 1 entry using the ruler. TOC styles are by default set to update automatically (though I find this works better for paragraph than font formatting), so setting a tab in one TOC 1 entry should set it for all (and modify the style).
