Table of Contents - 1 Table of Contents line is different to other

[treaders]

Hello,

For some reason 1 entry in my Table of Contents looks different to all the
other entries that have the same TOC 2 style applied to them.

The part of the Table of Contents I am having trouble with looks like this:

POLICIES BEHIND THE PLAN.............. 8
PURPOSE OF THE PLAN........................ 8
OBJECTIVES OF THE PLAN.................. 8
COMPLIANCE AND DEVIATIONS....... 8
ADMINISTRATION................................ 8
TENDER 8

The last line, "Tender 8" is the problem line. I cannot make it add the
"....." across to the page number; I also cannot make the page number align
with the right side of the page (as the lines above do). This whole section
has TOC 2 Style applied to it.

I have checked the Heading the TOC line is referring to; I have checked the
Style; I have deleted and recreated the Table of Contents but still no luck.

I am using Word 2003 SP3. Windows XP SP3.

What would cause 1 line to behave differently to the Table of Contents lines
above it?

Thanks,
treaders

Does the style have a very large hanging indent? If so, the automatic tab
stop at the hanging indent may be catching the page number because the TOC
entry is very short.

I extended the length of the TOC entry and this fixed the problem. So, you're
definitely on the right track, thank you.

However, I would prefer to use the shorter TOC entry, "Tender". How should I
fix the problem? Should I decrease the hanging indent size, adjust the tab
stop or something along these lines?

Thanks,

Fixed. I removed the first tab stop and the issue is gone.
Suzanne, thanks again!
