Reversed Table of Contents

[Guest]

Hi,

We would like to format our TOC so that the page number is at the left
margin, followed by a dot leader, then followed by the heading (which is
right justified).

We know this is a reverse of the customary style, which is heading followed
by dot leader followed by page number.

Is there a way to create or modify a style to do this?

Thanks,

Hi Rosemary

I don't believe that this is possible. Word generates the text, tab, and
page number for items in a table of contents on the fly. Table of contents
styles don't control this layout, so modifying a style won't help.

Hope this helps.

You can do it manually by inserting cross-references to heading text
and page numbers. Of course, this would be time-consuming in a long
document.

Mmm, you want something that I have by default and I don't want it and I
don't know how to get rid of it. I have a workaround though, it may help you
to do the same the other way around (based on Word 2003).

1) Right click the toolbar and choose customize
2) Select the 'Commands' tab
3) Select the format category
4) Scroll down in the commands list until you find the 'Left-to-right' and
'Right-to-left' options.
5) Now you can drag and drop these options somewhere on a toolbar for easy
access.
6) Insert your TOC as usual
7) Select the entire TOC
8) Click the right-to-left button you added in step 5

Note: whenever you update the TOC, you will have to repeat step 7 and 8

I am very interested to learn how I can get rid of this default
right-to-left toc. It started after I received an email from an Israeli guy.
Since then, something in word is messed up (I use Word as email editor in
Outlook 2003).
- It inserts the TOC in right-to-left reading by default.
- When someone repies to any of my emails and my original text is still in
it (at the bottom), my complete text is right-to-left (eventhough I wrote and
sent it in left-to-right format).
