tab leader TOC

[Erin]

I have one silly "content" that doesn;t have a tab leader. I've done
everything I can think of, but everytime I update the field, it goes back to
no tab leader while everyone else has one. What can I do?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

You'll need to modify the given TOC style to add a leader to the right tab
stop.

Okay but how?
Table of Contents/Modify/Modify...and then where?

Open the TOC style where you struggle with in the Style Pane, say it is
TOC3, and modify it like any other style. The tab leader is under Tabs.
Select the (right) tab where your page numbers appear, as Suzanne
mentioned, and check the radio button with the leader style of your
choice.
Note: in case your TOC styles don't appear in the styles pane, select
Custom... at the bottom and check the TOC styles in use (they look like
TOC1, TOC2, etc). Also, if you position yr mouse in the TOC, you'll see
the TOC style appear in the menu bar (assuming you have the formatting
menu activated), and you can then open it from there.

That didn't do the trick. The TOC1 (the style this pesky little title is
under) is already right tabbed, and TOC1's in the TOC are alighned
accordingly, with the dots. But not this one stupid one. I can manually
'tab" it, but as soon as U "Update Field", it goes back to being tabless, the
word and page number stuck together. like so:

A.50 WIC State Issuer Accounting Detail Report Screen 155
A.51 WIC State Issuer Report Query Screen 157
Glossary 158
General Subjects Index 160

See the "General Subjects Index" above? it is the same "style" as
"Glossary," and yet somehow, Glossary does not get the benefit of a tab
leader. WTH?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

In this case there is probably a tab stop to the right of Glossary and left
of the right-aligned one. The other, longer entries are unaffected.
