I'm using FM 7.0, and I'm trying to format my TOC with tabs so that my autonumbered headings are aligned as follows: 1.1 Title of first section..................pg# 1.2 Title of second section.................pg# My reference page entry: <$paranumonly>(LEFT TAB MARK)<$paratext>(RIGHT TAB MARK)<$pagenum> LEFT TAB is set at 0.5". RIGHT TAB is set at 6.75" with leaders. When I update the TOC, I get: 1.1 Title of first section pg# 1.2 Title of second section pg# That is, the section titles are properly aligned left, but the pg#s fall just a space after the titles rather than aligned right with leaders. When I view the tab marks, they're where they should be. When I'm in the Body Page, I can manually hit the Tab key once to send the pg# to the far right where it belongs. But why isn't the right tab stop working properly from the reference page? Just an FYI - I also have TOC reference entries for section headings WITHOUT autonumbering. Those do NOT include a LEFT TAB, and the RIGHT TAB (set exactly the same as above) works PERFECTLY. I've searched all over the Internet and thru 2 FM manuals, and I cannot find any reference to this issue. I'm starting to think the reference file is not programmed to accept multiple tabs.
