Reply To: TOC Leading Dots: Adding a space before page number?

Thanks Kai

I have followed your instructions exactly but with mixed results!

I do end up with a bigger space before the page number so that is good, and it is workable but not yet ideal. Why? Because the space is now too big! And when I experiment with the ‘codes’ in the “Between entry and number” ^<^y^> I cannot seem to reduce the space. In fact, I cannot seem to control the space at all with these codes… when I try a “thin’ or ‘hair’ space it is the same. When I try an en-space it is the same. If I try nothing and simply have the right-intent-tab code I get the strange result of the same space but with the second digit of the page number bigger than the first. I know I am doing something wrong, but I cannot see it.

Is it something to do with the tab position in the paragraph style? My read of your instruction leads me to conclude that you mean that the tab position bears no relation to the location of the page numbers, i.e. we’re simply just using this feature in the paragraph style to generate the actual leader dots.

Sorry, I’ve tried playing with this for a few hours, but cannot seems to figure it out.
