#1




#2


As above - when i hit generate TOC, it gives me #1. I want the page numbers to be in 1 straight row (whether it has subheadings or not) and have standard font size.

After manually editing the TOC, the page numbers don't look aligned at all.

Any idea how i can do this automatically next time with properly aligned text and same font size for all text in TOC?

hi there,

i just finished reading the whole article, but it says nothing about my issue. i'm using the built in heading styles, so i really don't see why the inconsistency exists.

Word's TOC field has different TOC styles that correspond with your different Heading Styles.

To get the page #s for a given level to line up correctly, simply position the cursor at the end of one of the mis-aligned lines and position a left-aligned tab stop where you want the number to align to. Depending on your existing TOC setup, that may simply entail dragging an existing left-aligned tab stop from where the number now aligns to the new position.

As for the font, simply change the font size to whatever you want.

Ordinarily, Word's TOC styles are set to auto-update, so that updating the formatting on a given entry should update all entries at that level.

hi,

updating font size for 1 page number does not update the others (for the same heading level) as i just tried.

the irritating part is that i can't highlight all page numbers at once (i must highlight the whole TOC, but i want the text to be of a different size than the numbers).

is there any way that it should be automatic to begin with?

AFAIK it's not possible to have the font for the numbers differ in any respect from the font for the remainder of the entry. So, if you've formatted the font for the text part of the entry as caps, that's what you'll get for the number also.

hmm i think u misunderstood my statement.

by text i meant the heading font size in the TOC.

for instance, i want all heading font size in TOC to be 16, and font size for page numbers in TOC to be 14.

(note that i'm talking about just the TOC, not other sections)

I'll repeat it:
Therefore you cannot have:
