A couple more questions though: 1. I got three TOC styles now, TOC Heading 1, TOC Heading 2 and TOC Heading 3. As in that lshort.pdf, my TOC Heading 1 has to be bold. However, when my dots get bold too they don't align with the rest. Is there any way to solve this other than manually editing every TOC Heading 1? 2. To get, say, "1 Introduction" instead of "1 Introduction", is the only way to do this to space things manually? 3. Right now my endings look like: . . . . . 9 . . . . . 10 . . . . . 11 Instead, how do I make them like this? . . . . . 9 . . . . . 10 . . . . . 11 (doesn't look too good with san-serif here in my browser but you know what I mean) Thanks again y'all!
