Hi- I just generated my table of contents and the page numbers are right against the titles. I have read that I can go into the Reference pages and add tabs as spacers. However, when I try to add the tab from within the reference page, the tab disappeared. Has version 8 chnaged in terms of creating tab stops? Am I still going about them the right way?

Thanks,

Ingrid

Ingrid,
* The tab also must exist in the paragraph tag that formats the entry. For example Heading1TOC must have the tab set up.
* After adding the tab to the Reference page and making sure that it's in the paragraph tag, you need to save the TOC file and...
* Update the book

Observation: I've seen it happen that the body page layout for a ToC has a wider text frame than the reference page. As a result, you can't see the tabs doing their work in the reference page because they fall outside the right margin.

Fingers crossed, but as long as the tab settings are OK on the body page the ToC should format as required after you've added the tabs in the reference page. You can take a closer look at the reference page - literally! - by increasing the zoom and turning on text symbols. I think I've seen "coloured markers" go by on several generations of wishlist ;-}
