Table of Contents AlvinMartin 05.07.2006 23:13:02 After typing out a good deal of a very long document, I found that my left hand margin is 2cm, but it needs to be 4cm to meet submission requirements. No, problem I simply used the slide-bar at the top of the document to change the left margin to 4cms. Other than a few simple formating issues, everything appears okay. However, in my document I have 3 tables; Contents, List of Figures and a List of Tables. The problem is that after I change the left hand margin, even after updating, the table of contents loses the ability to align to the right hand side of the page (meaning the page numbers are not visible). Whereas the List of Figures and the List of Tables, post update, resolve the the right-hand margin perfectly! All of the tables are created use the standard MS Word fields. If I change the left hand margin using the Page Layout menu the same thing happens. Any ideas?

Re: Table of Contents "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" <dkr[ at ]REMOVECAPSmvps.org> 06.07.2006 00:12:41 You will need to change the position of the tab stop that defines where the page number is located in the respective TOC Styles. Have you however tried deleting the table of contents and re-creating it after the margins have been set to the new values. -- Hope this helps.

Re: Table of Contents AlvinMartin 06.07.2006 07:58:02 Thanks for your comments Doug, I have tried deleting the TOC and starting again, but the same thing happens. I will look into the tab stop suggestion you made.
