How can I change the chapter or section TOC's indentation without changing the main TOC indentation

[Frank1011101]

Hi,

I was using TOC filed code with /b to create a TOC under Section 1 that only shows heading3 title and page numbers. But it always has 0.4" left indentation, how can I set zero indentation just for Section1 TOC, but still keep 0.4" left indentation in the main TOC. Also I want the Section1 TOC should still keep zero indentation after update TOC itself. Please see the picture below. 

Thanks.

If I understand the requirement, you want the Table of Contents itself to appear as

and in Section 1, you want

You might be able to do that by inserting TC fields that contain the text of the headings in the Heading 3 style and assigning them to Outline level 4,

and then in Section1, create a table of contents using Outline levels

and format the TOC 4 style so that it has the required attributes.

If that doesn't work, you could create the Table of Contents for Section 1 by bookmarking the Headings and then using cross-references to the text of the bookmark and to the page number of the bookmark with the latter cross reference located at a tab stop that you set up in the required position and with a leader so that it has the required appearance.

Hi Doug,

Thank you so much! Yes so I followed your first solution, and it worked. I created TC at the end of each title, and also added a letter identifier for different sections. It worked as I expected, thanks for your help.
