Bad spacing in table of contents
In my TOC some of the headings align perfectly, with the headings on the left and page numbers on the right, but with some the headings are on the left and the page numbers are split between two lines. I have tried everything to fix this to no avail |

You should check the tab-stop settings for the relevant TOC Styles and the number of tabs used in the headings concerned.

Thanks for your response Paul but there are no tabs set for the headings. The actual document displays OK it's just some of the headings in the TOC that are misaligned.
I did find a cure. By switching to outline view I could see that the heading numbering was showing on two lines, i.e. the heading line and the line below. I cured this by re-typing the heading in the space above the original one and changing the style of the original heading and line below to Normal before deleting it. Then when I updated the TOC the headings and page numbers were displaying correctly. Don't know why this should happen but hey ho, it worked.

By default, Word uses tab characters to position the page numbers on the right. Click the ¶ icon on the Home tab to display nonprinting marks; tab characters are represented by arrows pointing to the right. In your document, something has happened with the tab stops.
See my exampe below. |
