tabs and indexes

[Tracey]

Hi, Im creating multiple indexes in a word 2003 document. The basic entry
structure is {XE "Cancer Services:Bray, Susan"\f "clinical programme"} and
the index is {INDEX \f"clinical programme"\e" "\c"2"}
The output is
Cancer Services
Bray, Susan................14
Murphy, Howard..........11
Peterson, Peter............. 9

The problem is that the tabs dont always seem to work and I can get this
result
Cancer Services
Bray, Susan................14
Murphy, Howard11
Peterson, Peter.............9

I cant find any difference in the code for each of the people so Im at a
loss for while this happens.

Any ideas would be welcomed
Cheers

Hi Tracey:

Your tabs are set too close in...

With some entries, the text is long enough to push the entry over to the
next tab. With some, it isn't, so the page number ends up on the closer
tab.

Adjust your styles to set the tabs further to the right.

Cheers
