Default Table of Content - Columns not working

Hi there,


I've tried to find a solution for this, but so far I haven't found a fora regarding this particular issue.

Im working on a report for work, and the document is more than 300 pages now, and my table of content is now consisting of 5 pages in a single column.
So I went and selected the entire table of contents, and split it into 2 columns.
Now the issue arise: most of the headers work just fine, and dispay their page numbers - but ALL my main header (default Header 1) does not show their page numbers. Instead they only show a dotted line, ending without a number or anything.

I've submitted an image of the document, but being a document for work - I have faded out the actual text.

But why are my main headers (Header 1) not displaying pages?

Note: I have also tried CTRL + A, selecting the entire document, and pressing F9 to update the whole content, but this doesn't work either.

Help me out Obi MSOffice, you are my only hope!

And.. THANKS for any help given, I really appreciate the effort put into your answers, short or long

You need to re-format the corresponding TOC Style (presumably TOC1) so that its right paragraph indent and any tab-stops are the same as the others.

Thanks Macropod

I will try and see if can muster the skill to re-format the TOC. Haven't tried that before, but there should be a tutorial somewhere.
If you don't hear from me again, it will be because I solved the problem. In any case, thanks a lot for your help

It's not a matter of reformatting the TOC, as such, but (probably) the TOC1 Style.
