how do I align dots before a number in a table of contents. I can align to
the right but the left gets messed up. There used to be a way to do this
automatically in Word Perfect a long time ago but I can't figure it out in
word. thanks.

I don't understand your question. Do you mean leader dots that guid
the eye between the end of the (left-aligned) text and (right-aligned
page numbers? Do you automatically generate yr TOC

Are you creating the TOC manually? If so, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm. You may also want to
see http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html for instructions on
how to do it automatically (which takes care of the leaders as well).
