Mac Word 5.1a TOC problem

Hi fellow Word users,

I have a problem with the printing of a TOC generated by Word 5.1a on a
Mac (IIsi, LCIII--same results).

I am printing TOCs with the "nested" option (i.e., there is indentation
for the different levels of headings).  The alignment of *some* of the 
titles is as though there were tabs that were "missed" and thus some of
the words go further off to the right, making for a VERY ugly TOC 
printout.  This occurs essentially on all levels where there are several 
(or more) headings per level.  (FYI:  There are no tabs in the text of 
the TOC and there are no tabs, other than the ones for the right 
margin/page numbers, on the ruler line.)

The TOC looks fine in the page preview, etc., modes, on screen.

I am printing on an Apple LaserWriter Plus.  I also got the same results
on a DataProducts(?) printer emulating a LaserWriter.  On a Deskjet,
however, the alignment is correct (but the print quality. . . .).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

-- Peter           kasaty@ctsnet.cts.com        (San Diego, CA   USA)
