![]() Solution is to either do a manual fix each time (or at least each time you want to print the document) or to make a custom template and attach that. Also, if the change is not saved back to the template (ie, this change is made permanent) then when the file is reopened and attaches the template, it will revert to the faulty version. (10) Caveats: I don’t know how this solution might interact with other ToC styles and formats. Then OK all the way out and bingo, fixed. (9) Make sure the button beside ‘ 2 ….’ is checked. There should now only be one tab stop, that giving the page number position (15.9 cm in the picture here). (8) Highlight the first tab stop (there will likely be two) and delete it by selecting ‘Clear’. (7) On the same dialog, select ‘Tabs…’ (bottom left corner). (3) Right click and select ‘Select All Instances’ (1) On the Home ribbon, expand the list of Styles by clicking on the little arrow at the bottom right of the styles pane. Here is the solution (at least in my context). Note that putting it back to just ‘Mode’ and updating the table recreates the error. So the simplest solution is to rephrase the headings to be a little longer. For example, I can change ‘Mode’ to ‘Mode Mode’ and it is ‘fixed’: If the entry is long enough, no problem (see ‘Mode’). So of course I did a web search and found: (hence the title of this post of mine).īut this page does not give an explicit fix, at least, not for the average user. But it does give the hint – note that the entries that are not working are short. ![]() The ToC was put in using Word defaults with the headings all styled as H1, H2, H3. Now, I checked that this is not just a display problem, and yes it does print like that too. Like this: Example of Word table of contents with dot leaders missing and page numbers in wrong place (see Mean and Mode). So I’ve got a Word file with a table of contents (ToC) that, every so often, is missing the dot leader (row of dots) between name and page number. You can now delete the TOC generated by Microsoft Word.This is the first of two posts other is here. Once the dialogue box appears, choose “None” under the “Borders” tab.Īdd your title and you have an alphabetized TOC (or index with hyperlinks). To remove the borders, right click on the table and choose “Borders and Shading”. ![]() Sorting by Column 1 in an ascending order will alphabetize the content.

Higlight the titles you just pastedand choose “Table” from the “Insert” menu. After an exhaustive online search, I determined the easiest way to gain the benefits of both.įirst, you need to generate a table of contents ( Here’s a tutorial from Microsoft if you don’t know how).Īfter the table of contents (TOC) is created, select all of the titles and copy them. With a table of contents, each title can be linked to a portion of text but there is no way to automatically alphabetize a table of contents. If you insert an index, the contents are automatically are alphabetized, but you cannot create hyperlinks. There are advantages and disadvantages of using either a table of contents or an index in a Word document.
