Using Office Home/Student 2007, how do I format/align ellipsis in Index with
page numbers?

Do you really mean ellipsis, are are you talking about a string of periods
that goes from the entry over to the page number? If the latter, they're
called tab leaders. In the References tab, click Insert Index. Click to
enable Right align page numbers, and selected the desired type of "Tab
leader".

If you have created an index using an INDEX field (or a table of contents
with a TOC field), this will be automatic.

Thanks...you're right... I meant adding/aligning a string of periods. I
tried Inserting Index, but I must be doing something wrong. After following
your directions, the text "No index entries found." was inserted on the page.
What am I missing?

I didn't create the index using the INDEX field. Just typed the text
intending to add page numbers afterwards. Not sure how to create an index .

Well, first we need to know whether you really mean an index (alphabetical,
back of the book) or a table of contents (chronological, front of the book).
If the latter, see http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html. If
the former, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/Createindex.htm

You're missing index entries. Creating an index is a two step process.
First, you use Mark Entry to mark those words you want in the index. Then
you insert the index.
For marking entries, use Mark Entry in the References tab. Alt+Shift+X is
the keyboard shortcut.
For built-in help on the process, press F1, type "index", then click on
"Create an index".

You can still save all the typing you've done (this time) -- if
there's a tab before the page number(s) in each entry. Select all the
paragraph-entries in the index, click at the right end of the ruler at
the top to insert a tab, then click precisely on that tab marker to
open the tabs dialog. Then choose "right" and the kind of leader you
want -- the dot leader should be the first choice below "None."

Come clean ... did you already have a tab before each page number
(group), or did you have to go back and add them?
And you have to promise that the next time you do an index, you'll do
it the right way, by inserting XE fields and letting Word do the work.
(It'll even insert the field on every occurrence of a word you want it
to.)

what kind of tab stop do I need before the number? I have tried a regular
tab and a right tab and neither will insert a dot leader. I used to have
this same problem with Word 2003. Word 2007 is worse

You can use any kind of tab stop, but you must go to the Tabs dialog and
choose a period leader, then click OK.

thank you, yes, i finally figured it out. I had to click on the actual tab
setting (i.e., 6.63) and then choose the #2 dot leader and it worked.
On a separate note, has there been any further decision on reactivating the
use of Shift F5 to go to the last edited location in a document? I sure miss
that feature. thank you

Shift-F5 works for me -- the last three locations.

Suzanne S. Barnhill
It works as long as the document as open; unfortunately, once you have
closed the document, you can't reopen it and return to the last edit
position with Shift+F5. I would miss it, too.

I haven't heard anything about this, and I don't know why it was disabled in
the first place, but I believe there are occasional problems with the
command even in earlier versions.

The Shift F5 topic is from an old discussion dated 10/1/07 as follows. I
just got Word 2007 last Friday and the Shift F5 feature does not work, unless
there's a fix for it somewhere. It worked for me every time in Word 2003.
Thank you.

Thanks for the additional research/info, Jay. I do not know how to submit a
suggestion to Microsoft. Plz advise.

What I meant by "I haven't heard anything about this" was that I haven't
heard whether MS are working on a fix for the problem of Shift+F5 not
working on reopening a doc.
