Great reference from bujika. The page is in Russian and on it's turn refers to the website of Frans van de Geest – he's also roaming here but don't know if he saw this post. Anyway I found his post on this subject on his website – it's in Dutch (including the dialogs) and, as far as I understood in a glance, puts a scaled slash, that's put in front of the amount, through the amount. It tests the number of positions of the amount (10ths, 100rds, 1000s).

If prefered I can translate the post (including English dialogs).

Hi Erika,

Would it be possible for you to post a screenshot of your TOC-Dialog box? Think it would help a lot for us to understand your situation more and thus give prompt assistance.

Regards.

..well, if you make sure to take the first The and place it after the last one proceeded with the ', ' then you should be home clear – just make -absolutely- sure you know what's happening 'cause as soon as they become mixed up there's no way to know which one is actually the first and which one the second and so no way to fix it anymore… from there it's all downwards..

Hi letterwoman,

Here I checked both Indesign (CS5) and Illustrator (CS5) and here their default behaviour is the same – they both add the stroke Center Aligned by default.

In effect the 'box becomes smaller' when you set the stroke to none (no colour actually).

So, like erickp said, only if you align your stroke to inside and later on set it to none you will see no difference in size.

Mike.

Hi free associate

I recently had the same thing non-breaking spaces showing up at as it seems random places. I didn't have time to investigate what the cause of it was, the document wasn't that long too so I fixed it (by 'manual' search and replace because sometimes it could be just erased but other times it had to be replaced by an actual space) and that was that.

But now I saw your post (and some breathing room) I thought about it a bit more.

The word-file that was given to me was created by someone who copied & pasted text from a webpage. I now had a look at the pagesource and where the non-breaking space in the word-file is there are metatags in the webpage (actually nbsp-s but also font weight changes (span style=”font-weight:normal) amongst others).

Now I don't know what the route/source of the webpage text was but somehow those codes got converted to non-breaking spaces when pasted in word.

Could it be that something similar is going on at your end?

Hi Lucinda!

No you don't have to create 23 seperate masters.

One way to solve it would be to insert a Section Marker (Type / Insert Special Character / Markers / Section Marker) where you want the title to appear.

Then at the start of each chapter define a new section (if you use a separate file for each chapter you can just use the already defined one ofcourse) and insert your chapter title in the Section Marker field in the Layout / Numbering & Section Options.

Hope this helps.

Out of curiosity Sudie may I ask why you want to do that?
