Default Formatting text in a table of contents

Hello,



Can anybody please tell me how to permanently format text in a table of contents?

A heading I have is particularly long and in the table of contents it spills over onto 2 lines.

It looks like this

1.2 New types of organisms in the centre of the
sample............................................ ...............20

What I would like to do is format it so it looks like this:


1.2 New types of organisms in the centre of the
sample............................................ ..........20

But everytime I press the space bar in the table of contents and then click on 'update table' it automatically goes back to the first variation.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Newbie

PS: Running Word XP on Windows XP.

Hi,

Table of contents is an automatically generated index.

If you would like to modify the formatting, go that particular style (TOC1) or (TOC2).. etc. then modify it accordingly (fix tab position). Then only the text stands permanently as soon as you update it.
