update table of contents issues
Hi,
when trying to update my entire table of contents, the line dots disappear and shorten the item/link. This is a template.
This is happening only to one item in the Table of Contents,
It should read:
References................................................................170
but when I update my entire table of contents, it changes to:
References170
The hyperlink still works.
This is what Microsoft attempted:
For References not to disappear in the Table of contents, we will need to set the References tile as a Heading. I have selected Heading 1. I went back to Table of Contents then refreshed the content and it is now showing as part of the pages but with no dots. I need to format that by using the TOC 3 style format in the Styles pane.
Unfortunately, the item reverted to incorrect format:
References170
PLEASE HELP!!!
Kindly,
Irene

- By default, the TOC 1 style would be used for the items in the body of the document to which the Heading 1 style has been applied. Therefore it would be for the TOC 1 style that you need to reinstate the tab stop with the dotted leader for the page number.
Thank you for your reply. I truly appreciate it. Unfortunately it didn't work Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP
- If you send a copy of the file to me at dougrobbinsmvp[atsymbol]gmail[dot]com referencing this thread in the covering email message, I will investigate the issue.
