Table of Contents - How do I ?

V

Vass

I'd like to create a Table of Contents in WORD where
the left side of the page lists the items (some of which are tabbed in as
sub headings)
then there is a long dotted line accross to the right side of the page where
the page number sites
all in a nice neat column stright down

trouble is, I have tried this with Justified text and the page numbers just
dont want to line up

anyone know of a template or a way to do this please?

Many thanks

I'm making an assumption that you don't know about making styles and
using Word's Table of Contents field, so you are making a "manual"
Table of Contents. The simplest way to achieve your table of contents
is:

type your first heading, then insert ONE tab, then type the page
number, ENTER.
continue typing your headings, TAB, page number, ENTER.
When you come to a subheading, insert ONE tab, type subheading, insert
ONE more tab, page number, ENTER. Do not insert any periods. Repeat
for entire table

For example:
HEADING 6
SUBHEADING 15
Everything will look bad, but I promise we will fix it easy.

Highlight the entire Table of Contents (ToC), go to the FORMAT, TABS
menu.
Insert one LEFT tab at about .25" with LEFT alignment and one RIGHT
tab at approx 5.9" with RIGHT alignment and with a dotted LEADER (#2).
IF you have highlighted the entire table, it will now look more like
this

HEADING...............6
SUBHEADING..........15
