Hi,
As far as I can tell, my TOC is set up correctly. The "Edit Field" stuff is all correct and the preview shows a separate formatting for my 3 levels. When I update the TOC, every item appears the same. All of the headers in the document are correctly formatted as header 1, 2, 3, etc... and the TOC toolbar shows them applied to the correct TOC level. Yet, every item in the TOC is formatted exactly the same, as level 1. Any suggestions? Second question: Items in the TOC are appearing as: This is on the first page 1 This is on the second page 2 This is one the third page 3 I have selected show page numbers and right align page numbers. The preview looks like this: This is on the first page 1..........1 This is on the second page 2.....2 This is on the third page 3........3 This is what I want it to look like: This is on the first page.......1 This is on the second page...2 This is on the third page......3 Thank-you!!!! |

Hi LadyJane,
This is probably a simple matter of correctly positioning the tabstops in the TOC, but having the actual document to work with would make it easier to resolve. Can you attach a document to a post with some representative content (delete anything sensitive)? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab.

The TOC formatting seems to have fixed itself. Do you have any suggestions abou the tab on the page numbers? It will be very difficult for me to attach the document with sensitive areas removed, since I would probably have to remove most of it.

In that case, I can only offer fairly generic advice.
To get a professional wrap format with a TOC, you need to do both of the following for each TOC Style: 1. Set an appropriate left indent and hanging indent position; and 2. Set a right indent about 1-1.5cm to the left of where you want the page #s to appear and add a right-aligned tabstop at the page # position. As TOC Styles have the 'automatically update' attribute set by default, simply formatting one corresponding entry for each TOC level (ie its paragraph attributes) should be sufficient to get all entries for the same level updated.
