(So many Word groups, I hope I'm asking in the right place)
Using Word 2002 SP-1 on WindowsXP. When I insert a TOC the TOC lines
have "funny" indentation: lines representing same header styles (for
example: two TOC lines representing two different HEADING 2 paragraphs
in my document) have different indentation.
After turning on the "Show/Hide [funny symbol]" to make Word show TABS,
spaces, etc, and after viewing the ruler, I can see why: the first TAB
stop for different lines is different! The second TAB stop is always
the same and is aligned to the margin, which makes the page numbers
appear okay.
The TOC1 and TOC2 styles have no TABS of their own in their style. It
appears that Word applies formatting to the TOC lines and part of that
includes the TAB stops. However, it applies different formatting for
different lines!
If I select all the lines and manually set the tabs stops everything is
then okay.
A few observation with the hope they help:
0) I *have* read "TOCJasonTabs". I am asking this after having read it.
I don't have extra TABS (this is what I understand is discussed
there?), I have *wrong* TABs. "Clear Formatting" just removes the tab
altogether, since the TABs are not part of the style but part of the
formatting Word applies to each and every line.
1) It doesn't happen in a new document if I create a blank one. Must be
something I've changed in this document (?).
2) My document is right-to-left: Normal is right-to-left, all other
styles are (I think?) derived from Normal. The TOC is created
Left-To-Right, but I then select all of it and apply "Right-To-Left
paragraph". I don't think this matters, since even when it's
Left-to-Right the TABS are already there, created wrongly.
3) The wrong TAB stops are only set (by word) wrongly on TOC lines
corresponding to Heading 2.
4) My HEADING 1 and HEADING 2 styles have numbering. They don't in a
new blank document.
Two more quick questions, if you will:
1) How do easily I select all of the TOC?
2) When I create a new blank document, the HEADING 1 and HEADING 2
styles are both based on Normal. They don't have numbering. When I turn
on numbering for HEADING 1, HEADING 2 automatically gets numbered as
well. How does this magic happen?
