leader and tabs in TOC
I would like to know how to set the leader so that it will
be consistent with the entire TOC. Right now, if a word is less than 7 letters (for example, "INDEX"), the leader does not extend from the word to the the page numbers. I have to add a tab to get it to do that. When I update the table, I have to add the tab again. I have been playing with indents, tab stops and everything else I can find in the style format dialogs, but everything I do seems to make it worse. I can't find anything in the Help files that addresses this, but I am not sure what I don't understand, so I don't know how to search for what I am trying to do. Can you help me? My tab stops are currently set at 1.75 and 5.75, and the page margins a L=1.5" R=1" T=1.2" B=1.2" I am using WORD 2003 on an XP machine. Thanks very much! Terry |
